Good song that Song for my Father by Horace Silver. Old jazz certainly has a certain charm in it. Thanks for sharing reference ideas.

I’m quite sure that the hi-hat is closed mic in that session. It gives nice steady beat to the song. At the same time snare is far away but still all the rolls are clearly audible. For example at 1:53
To me it feels that the space is quite big. For example at 2:22 stronger snare hit has nice long natural tail that doesn’t die away, but nicely fills the empty space in arrangement. I guess that the whole band played in the same time in the same room, but horns had close mic within 1 meters distance. Just guessing without real knowledge.
