Hi and welcome back,
I'm not very familiar with jazz recordings. I'd say that ride is missing a bit of definition, sexiness and sparkle, sounds a little too raw. Probably there's too much room in that drum kit. The piano seems to have some resonances in the mids that are dragging it down so to speak. It doesn't soar as it should.
Probably there's an excess of roominess in the piano as well. I understand you had to fill up the gaps somehow, but I think the room is getting in the way of the instruments, maybe some resonances or too much mids.
I hope you can make use of the feedback.
