In a jazz rig, I like to use a pair of 451's, and individually mic the cymbals, with dynamics mics, say.. 57s, anywhere between 4-10" out, and aimed at the note I want.

I love early 451s... I haven't heard any of the new ones, and never cared for the EB... anyhow.

This is interesting. I sometimes mic the ride in rockish/funkish stuff. Do you do every cymbal, with it's own mic?

I would give anything to be able to record jazz every day. That would be really great.

All cymbals, yes. I like being able to pick a tone (note), per piece, and add it to the overhead sound.

In jazz stuff, I am more likely to use over-the-shoulder overhead setups, than high o/h.

Also a good time to try dragging the o/h tracks into alignment with the kit, just to see if it's nicer that way. Depends on the space, and the music.

Yeah, all day, jazz.. and any small acoustic ensembles.. challenging, but it's all about translating the 'real' sounds, instead of *radio edit*.
