I think that is a matter of opinion. Not all jazz cats use a rolled off tone for playing "straight" jazz.
If you want to play to conventions, that is fine, but there is always room for a different voice singing the same song, no?
Also, if you think that is bright, you should listen to Ted Greene on a Telecaster when he doesn't roll the tone back!
