Very cool! Nice get!
As far as micing up a jazz group: less is more. If you don't nail the drum sound with three or four mics, or come damn close to nailing it, you've screwed up. Take your time; even if you feel the need to rush to get started, just don't. Take the extra time to get the sounds right, make DAMN sure the musicians' headphone mixes are pristine (getting awesome sounds will help here), and the record (and musicians) will mix itself.
Good luck, and congrats!
