Genre-specific mix feedback for Sweet Georgian Brown listing

I've submitted a track for the vintage Sweet Georgia Brown listing (S221013SW), but I'm a little nervous about how the mix might be interpreted by the screener. This is a brand new recording, but I have modified the EQ drastically to make it sound vintage, which is OK for this particular listing. I can make the mix specific to a given decade, I'm trying to emulate the sound of the 1940s recording provided as a reference in the listing. I've made it mono as well to remain true to the era.
Does my track sound 'too" vintage?

This Music Supervisor really needs to find Instrumental Covers of “Sweet Georgia Brown" by Glenn Miller:
"
Sweet Georgia Brown" by Glenn Miller
About the Movie: The is the true-life story of the people involved in breaking the color barrier in professional basketball.
Quoting the Music Supervisor: "This is an endearing and personal telling of the struggles, personalities, and triumphs experienced during this late 1940’s to early 1950’s – a groundbreaking time in America. We are looking for period/stylized versions of the classic 'Sweet Georgia Brown' in the feel and vein (with authentic instrumentation) a la the Glenn Miller version of the song."
NOTE: You can submit recently recorded Songs in the general production style of the reference that capture the authentic 1940's - 50's sound needed, OR if you have high-quality vintage recordings (recorded back in the day), they would love to hear those as well!
Please submit top-notch Instrumental Covers of "Sweet Georgia Brown" that capture the sound and essence of music from the 1940's and 50's. Your submissions should have engaging, era-appropriate arrangements, authentic-sounding instrumentation, and stay true to the original melodies of the tune so that it will be instantly recognizable to listeners. Your production should be polished and generally competitive with what would have been heard during the 1940's and 50's.

Beautiful work Paulie!
The Horns are just a tad too hot and the bass a tad too quiet for my ears...
But Period-wise sounds fantastic
I did want to hear some bass slaps during it's solo... but coming from a bass player, we always want to hear more
Cheers
Cass

Thanks Cass! Funny thing about the bass... I had a submission returned a few years ago because of the "clicking" sound of the bass, which was exactly what you described. Guess I was a little gun shy. I'll see if I can get some in there. And yes, horns will come down a bit. I often wonder, as a horn player, if they are too loud.

Sounds great and I think the production fits the era
I can hear distortion on it though like something is clipping on the brass parts in the note onset / attack. If it was mine I'd pull it into RX or similar to double check

Very nice and convincing track - like that in the pocket "loosey goosey" feel.
Almost expecting Louis to mop his brow and break out in song.

WOW - really cool track, Paulie. Reminds me of when I found and listened to my Dad's album/collection "Big Band Era",
or something like that. Congrats on the forward-of-approval.
Good luck; Cheers!
