Nice track!
I found the horns a bit bright so I bussed them together and shelved in some 800Hz and below. Trumpet I actually tweaked in some top end to help it punch against the saxophone, which I actually low-passed a little along with the trombone.
Some harsh 2Khz region on the piano and it needed brightening up some.
Bass I favoured the mic and punched in some mid and finger brightness to keep it bouncing along without overwhelming the bass end.
Drums a little compression to bring up the lower level details but I favoured the overheads and gave it a character EQ boost in the upper mids to bring out the ride cymbal.
Most everything got a high-pass.
Tapped a full-band compressor on the mix buss and added a shelving boost on the sides signal only at around 6KHz and above by up to 6dB I think. Mixed into a full-band limiter that got tapped once of twice.
Let me know what you think! Mixing 100% on (Focal) headphones BTW! I think I understand them pretty well by now though.
