A jazz ensemble is any group of musicians that play jazz. Most commonly, the term is used to describe a "big band." Such a band is typically composed of several wind instruments and a rhythm section consisting of piano, bass, drums, and often guitar.
Most modern arrangements are developed for five saxes (two alto, two tenor, and one baritone), four trumpets, four trombones (three regular tenor trombones and one bass Trombone), and a four piece rhythm section. Older arrangements were most often for four saxes, three trumpets, two trombones and a three piece rhythm section. Of course any variety of instruments might be substituted. Many arrangements replace one or more saxophones with clarinets, add strings or just about any other instrument you can name, as well as one or more vocalists.
