I imagine that some mixing and processing will make it more clear and lively and it will be a nice free jazz recording...

Hi Listener,
I also have the feeling that a bit of compression on the overheads might give a better punch at average listening levels. The ratio between the peaks and average loudness is quite extreme there. I am not quite sure about the ambience mics though. Due to their position at the lip of the stage (the drums appearing at the very left) they give different localisation cues than the overheads (all the way from left to right). I reduced them a bit in the mix which made it sound clearer for me.
Best regards
Hermann
