Guys like Uncle Dave And Don Mason are stylists. I think that people are attracted to their interpretations of tunes, so producing a tune so it sounds exactly like the recording is not only not necessary, but not desirable.
I can see where players like these two could get by on a few (10-15) styles, with their interpretations of songs making the real difference.
Works for me!
