Because the organ's bass is starting to WALK!!!!!

And the first chord is playing an inversion on the 2nd beat!!!

And the chord on beat four is playing way late!

Then when the second bar plays, the walking bass stops and things slow down noticeably.

This is not a smooth transition! It sounds like the tempo is doubling for one bar and then coming back to the original
tempo (on top of the other problems).



The total here points to a B Substyle being played there, that's the first thing to check, a Green Part Marker.

Also, if this is the same songfile where he's trying to play B Walking Bass with A organ substyle at same time, there could be many things that won't match up when trying that.

I don't usually chord comp the same way when the Bass is walking than when its not. With Walking Bass, you can and should get a bit busier and take more liberties, likely embellishing more. That is the whole point of it, actually.
