He's right in using pg products, but he makes his own styles for the same reason: "modern" jazz, starting with Coltrane with Tadd Dameron and Bill Evans play a lot of straight 8's!
Doug McKenzie plays Beautiful Love here: https://youtu.be/A3jkRqV9UWE
He clearly made up his bass n drums. Great basslines, that don't swing, but aren't latin or funk, these are reminiscent of the Bill Evans trio! And not found in the styles included in biab.

The bass, just like Scott LaFaro, Ron Carter, Dave Holland, don't swing a lot, but it's not latin either.
You got access to great rhythm playing (Doug McKenzie, Modern Jazz Pianist...) so making up some nice modern jazz would be so good.

Remember, it's people as far back as Scott LaFaro, Jimmy Garrison, Elvin Jones, Max Roach who made jazz more modern and these styles are lacking.
An "Even" jazz feel doesn't have to be latin or funk!
I misunderstood a Herbie Hancock quote saying: if it ain't got that swing, why bother. I understood it as if he said: don't mind if it don't swing! It can be groovy without swing, but that was not what he meant, nevertheless... smile
