The slow, persistent rhythm of the drummer also works well to my ears. Think you're on the right track IMHO...

Surprised at the work necessary to extract the MIDI piano, since I THOUGHT many (most? all?) of the BiaB RealTrack pianos captured the corresponding MIDI output as they were played. At any rate, they sound great here. THANKS for the Melodyne tip, I'll definitely keep that one in reserve. FWIW, I almost always use the BiaB MIDI transcript from RealTrack pianos, as they sound crisper to my ears.
Thanks Ron,
As mentioned in the O.P. - the BIAB midi was too clean, lacked the ghost notes etc.

Cheers
