It's weird. The type of music you play and where you play it makes it such a different world. Playing jazz in a jazz club has a totally different set of demands. People care more about HOW you play than WHAT you play. They want you to 'cook'. Whether you're cookin' on something written 40 yrs. ago or yesterday, is unimportant. Of course there are 'crowd favorites' but there is almost zero demand to play the 'latest' tune and absolutely no requirement to 'play it like the record'. Arrangers don't lend themselves very well to improvisational music, which is why you will probably never see one in a jazz club (although, as Diki says, there is no reason you couldn't use a G70 in synth mode). In fact, the problem with using a synth in a jazz setting is that you might be tempted to try a trumpet or sax solo. Stick with piano, el. piano, and (sparingly) organ, and you'll be okay. If I had to cover a jazz gig with a synth, it would probably be a Nord Electro (3). Best compromise piano and organ. I know jazz players that haven't learned a new tune in years, yet seem to know every 'standard' ever written. I guess they figure learning to play one song ten different ways is as good as learning to play ten songs one way only. Oh well, different strokes......
