Thanks for the feedback people!
Yes, this one has been a bit of an uphill battle for me. I haven't had experience with big bands before.
I just listened to WavolutionLab's mix and I can see I have a fair way to go. Xabi, I think part of the problem is I have too much of the room mic in the mix which is keeping a constant feed of sound filling the space, instead of allowing the track to breathe when the horns aren't playing.
Let me know if the first version I posted has more depth (even though the balance isn't all there) compared to V2. It could be a matter of me refining the blend between direct and ambient mic to let the song open up a bit more.
Listening back, I also need to bring down the level of a couple of tom rolls and increase the guitar in level just a tad.
I have a couple of Buble albums here - not a bad idea to reset my brain by listening to music with the same style before embarking on this kind of mix. Good suggestion!

So many songs, so little time!
