If I posted a WAV. file of one of my orchestral recordings and someone said it sounded like a single stereo pair of Chinese SDCs at the back of a hall going to an MBox/Ibook, I'd be wickedly pissed and consider slitting my wrists, you know?
I DO think your setup was appropriately slutty. Got pics of the KAS gig and the Ampex console? How were the mic pres in it?
Oh, WHO WERE the players, since you wanted us to guess? To me, it sounded like Ramsey Lewis doing a warmup tune (I hope that is a compliment.)

AMPEX mixer was an MX35. You know what an MX35 looks like. It's got 4 pic pres and 2 outs. Each channel has a switch: A, B, or A+B
The first two choruses of the piano solo was from Duke Ellington's "A" Train intro on the LP "Ellington Uptown" Columbia" ML 4639 ca.1951
after that the "pianist"(a saxophonist in real life) played his own sh#t. He dosn't own any Ramsey Lewis recordings. Sounds more like Red Garland after a stroke.
