Only thing that bothers is the bass level and bass sound. Now the bass sound belongs to another family with other instruments. You have probably used unnatural sounding bass DI-mic quite much. I think the DI-signal should be used only as supportive for the bass sound, not as the main body of the bass sound. You might try to test an extra compressor with very fast attack and release to swallow the unnatural transients from that DI-signal.

Yes Olli you are 100% correct ,i didi use too much Bass DI !
I will try to sort out the bass sound When i have another play around with this mix !

uploades version 2 with less Di bass and more Room bass not sure if got it right !
It's much better to my ears now. But I think your bass is much too dominant for this genre. Now the drums and bass don't make a pair. Try soloing drums and bass, and find the level for bass from drums. And think Frank Sinatra is standing behind you and checking your fader moves.
BTW if you happen to find Frank Sinatra's Come Dance With Me album, there's very good reference for this old style Big Band. Just found my version from local library.
