Overall mix is very good, I like it a lot.
Excellent sax and vox to my ears.
Normally I would end my comments here, but here’s some bonus nitpicking comments that shouldn’t be taken too seriously, as the mix is very good the way it is.
Maybe too dry piano. As darker frequency balance tells my ears/brains that it’s a distant piano, it would be nice to hear a bit more room to verify that message. Now (for example in intro riff) the piano note dies immediately telling me that room is very dry. At the same time sax (and later the drums) are telling that room is quite live and spacious. I’m not after serious realism - that’s boring - but it could be just a smallest tail to piano that fixes that issues
Some extra niggling. Kick not in center. Audible with headphones. Well, in my book, it doesn’t have to be in center, but now there’s some moving low frequency reverb stuff happening that makes it difficulty to locate exactly the kick. This could be fixed easily if you have any kind of ”mono-maker” - ie. a plugin that makes only a low end mono under 90-100 hz.
