Hey Judders, that's different! 
I'm not at all convinced by the switch to the Roots SDX though. I have it and I chose not to use it because it was not adapted to what I had in mind for this tune, which is actually more pop than jazz if you think about it.
You also used a lot of the room mics from it, which means that they lack a lot of punch, and are mostly MIA apart from the cymbals...
The mix of the piano+rhodes is also not convincing to me. You can barely hear the wurly (I think it doesn't have enough sustain anyway, and is playing on too high a register), and the piano is also playing high and is a too loud. It's a rather uninteresting part, and in my mix I chose to use only the attack of it and blend it with the rhodes that gives the sustain needed (think of it as a pad more than anything).
So I'm afraid that the chosen tones here are not the best, and not a good substitute for the original tracks. My opinion only of course and you should feel free to disagree entirely!
