You said you play the piano part within a style mix...

Does that mean you double whatever the "style" provides in the way of a piano? Occasionally I may elect to follow the melody theme in an intro or ending, but not very often at all. Its too limiting for me. I never do it in the middle of the style's main sections. It sounds goofy to my ears.

I use piano as my main instrument 99% of the time. Full keyboard mode...play chords with both hands sometimes...other times, just my left and fill in with my right. Also like to add some bass notes for certain things. I'm a piano/kb player. If I get up there and play sax, guitar, trumpet, etc. over midi files or even styles...I'd feel uncomfortable with that.

I'll take "piano driven" as a compliment, lol...
