What Is This Thing Calles Love - my mix

[ALX]

This is a very good clean mix given the challenges of the recording with all of the bleed. The drums sound a little forward for this style of jazz. The kick is too forward and thick. The snare is a little to prominent also. The OH's should carry most of the drum sound with the closed mic'ed kick and snare parts just giving a point to the sound of the DRM kit. Check out Duke Ellington Presents The Dollar Brand Trio on the Rhino Label. They have a long history of traditional jazz records. It is a very close reference to this recording. I definitely have to remix my version since I have tweaked my system. I do not like how it sounds at all.
