The usual format for a swing band includes the following instruments:

  • Two to five each of trombones, trumpets, and reeds (Saxophone/Clarinet)
  • Drums
  • Piano
  • String bass

Less commonly, bands might also have a guitarist, a tuba or French horn, a Flute, and sometimes even a string section.

Nearly all bands also had one or more vocalists, and larger ones also employed groups of singers who accompanied the lead vocalist(s).
