THanks, good points.
I'm testing quite heavily delays in this mix. That might cause the "being blurred together". (Delays have probably nothing to do with McBride. His recordings were just check point for the sound and balance of instruments.) But for some reason I like to have distance to horns, ie. i like to hear them from distance and singing in space. So these dry horns were a testbed for me, I tried to create pulsing room sound, where room participates in the groove.
I used very little compression. ALthough I always do quite loud mixes, still I'm using quite conservative amounts of compression (2-4 dB), at least I think so.
Could you please specify some spots in this song where things should duck down more? I know very little jazz and it quite often sounds like hasty speed competition to me
