To have an opinion about record engineering, and then state that you don't care about miking seems inconsistent, at best.
It is impossible to discuss the sound of a recording without paying attention to how it was miked, because miking affects timbre, ie tonality. The engineering also directly drives timing, interplay and nuance.
Jazz concerts that are acoustic are as rare as hen's teeth.
To conflate concerts where close miking and amplification are used with acoustic performances of classical music as you do is revealing.
