I got the tracks from here http://www.cambridge-mt.com/ms-mtk.htm .
It was a six track recording. (inside kick drum, another kick drum track, a snare drum, overheads, (double or upright) bass and a piano track)
All the recording rights go tho The Jesper Buhl Trio and Mike Senior.

Firstly,
I didn't pan anything, I tried by ways of E.Q. to give every instrument in the song its place.
I like the dynamics (especialy in Jazz, which was quite new for me tough) although I spend a pretty decent amount of time putting automations (fades) to get away of the clipping in the more heavy drum parts.
E.Q. I used on all the tracks,
I like to use a high shelf to preserve a lot of the bass frequencies for the actual (double) bass.
I almost used no compression (except for example for the bass to make it a little tougher, fatter and more prominent in the mix) because I wanted to keep the dynamics.
And I used a little reverb on some tracks like the overheads and the piano (I think) to get a more roomy feeling.

During mastering I again used a high shelf to get away of the really sub-bass (which in Jazz I think aren't important, this is not heavy dubstep or something).
I tried to get a little bit more 'shimmering' by boosting (about 1dB) in the more high end around 9kHz.
And a low shelf around 16kHz to get away of the unneeded almost not hearable high frequencies.
Also I boosted the low midrange around 130 Hz a bit to make the double bass more prominent on less bassy or 'woofy' speakers.
A thing I also did was using a tape saturator to make it a little fatter (about around 1,5 dB).
I didn't use a compressor or multi-band compressor during mastering because I wanted to preserve the dynamics in this song.
To make the song even more stereo or 'surround' I used a stereo widener. (not to heavely but still pretty hearable and helpfull)
Finally I used a limiter.

If you are a (professional or hobby audio/recording/mixing/mastering engineer, musician, etc. to,
I would love to hear your comments (good but I like the bad ones with hints and tips even more!)
