a lot of people have luck with a horn section pointing at a wall and a small diaphragm condensor pointed at the wall from above and behind the players.
That's how sir duke was done.
I would use a ribbon or ldc for mellow stuff about 3ft out and a couple inches off axis
for loud solos I would use a 57 just a bit outta the bell with an ldc for the room.
however, if this is a pro studio, they've probably figured out how to do it well in their space with their stuff.
