Interesting. John Baez is the brother of Joan Baez, the famous singer. Didn't know he was into music too.
That being said, Tritone substitutions sound good in some circumstances, but seem over the top in others. Use with care, as always. They'll always seem more appropriate in jazz genres

Whether the composers thought about it that way, we can't know, but in any case what matters is whether the bass line sounds good.
