Recording a swing jazz vocal group

[Gravity]

Subject says it all. I've got a vocal trio-to-quintet i'm recording this week. Opinions?

I'm thinking single ribbon and a semi circle in front with a stereo pair back a bit just to fill in a little of the room to give it an old kind vibe.


THe group is super talented and very well balanced. I"m trying just stylistically capture the performance. I've toyed with the following options:

1) Mono ribbon

2) Mono ribbon w/ stereo pair backing up

3) Stereo pair maybe ORTF

4) MS

5) All of the above rigged up so I can pick and choose later on


Any opinions? Not my first smal,l ensemble, but it is my first 40's/50's swing group and i want to capture that vibe.
