It has been my experience that "rigid" traditional players have a very hard time adjusting to playing an arranger, especially in auto-accompaniment mode.
Their "chops" actually get in the way...especially left hand.
Organ players seem to manage better than piano players, but neither can take to it without a lot of adjustments and re-thinking.
I've seen this happen many times and with very competent traditional players.
