Hello,
Please listen to my mix and give comments.
Thanks!

This one sounds nice Leo.  I actually prefer to listen to it in mono.  This confines the performance to one place as apposed to just being spread everywhere if that makes sense.  This really rings true through the drum, piano and bass part.
  
Everyone has their own take on this style but just try and mono up the drums and piano etc.  It doesn't have to be 100%, but try to give them their place on the stage as from a listeners perspective by panning them around a bit.  It's nice to hear the sax solo come in on the right side and trumpet on the left.  Spread the love around between the speakers and have fun with it.  Don't forget to use reverb to set the scene.  

You don't need to remix, just play around.  My style for this song was drums left, piano right which was in vogue with jazz when stereo recordings emerged.  Not so popular these days.   https://discussion.cambridge-mt.com/showthread.php?tid=17742 

Enjoy.
Hello Dangerous, thanks for listening and your comments. Especially what you say about panning and spread. I’m gonna have a second look at my mix. I’m always struggling with panning. And I’m not a fan of
widening the stereo image and don’t have objections to more mono. I try to be sparingly with reverb.
I’m a jazz lover. And I have more records from this (then) new stereo area. With sometimes weird panning like the Bass left or right. Some mixers only put sounds hard left or hard right.
Anyway, I gonna make a second try.
Thanks, Leo
