Overall Olli the mix does have a good sound, the thing I notice is that everything seems to be really upfront at all times, there's really not a moment where thing duck down. I guess it's a characteristic of the Christian McBride sound, I'm not really familiar with his work as I mostly listen to older jazz stuff from the 50's and 60's, so take this with a grain of salt.
The reverb is a nice touch, although I think it could be abit lower in the mix as now the ends of the notes are being blurred together, it's starting to sound like one continuous sound. It also seem like there's a lot of compression going on over the whole mix which is exaggerating the tails of your reverb, it also gives a harsh quality to the sound.
Again I'm not totally familiar with Christian McBride but I think the things I did point out are characteristics of his sound, if they are congrats, youve nailed that style of mix!
Cheers,

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
