I've followed this conversation on playing on and off the leg, and I haven't seen an posts about on or off the leg depending on the music.
Umpteen years ago, I saw the Canadian Brass with (I think) David Ohanian. I clearly remembered than when his playing was more ensemble, his horn was on his leg. When he had the melody, he raised it off. Though it was a long time ago, I remember this "technique" clear as today. Mark J.
