Of course the music decides how the players must play and then choose mics for it. How brass and WWs are played is the most important factor to change sound. If the players can't do a variety of sounds then you're using the wrong players. When it comes to mics I use both ribbons and condensors.

I think you're finding disagreement where none exists. What I have a problem with is the idea of the TLM103 as a near mic on trumpet. Your own recommendation is for its' use as a room mic.
As an aside the head parts of " Kind of Blue" certainly are section recordings, (and very nice ones too, done with M49s only, so I certainly don't rule out using condensers on trumpet in every instance), but as I aknowledged in my last post they are not what Cosmonauta needs in this instance.
So we agree, no?
