If the venu is small, and it's unlikely that I will push any real volume - I take out almost all the fluff and just leave the core trio behind my chording hand. I'll let Mr Korg play Bass, Drums and Strings(guitar, organ whatever it is ..)in a small setting - a large ensemble can sound very lackluster, especially if you're playing quietly.
My "go to" sound has always been: Rhodes(RH) Bass(LH), drums and synth du jour .... add strong vocal harmonies and I'm set.
