Almost All ensembles of instruments in any genre are designed to be able to cover the full audio spectrum from Bass to soprano. The brass instruments cover three ranges in the area; Bass, Treble, and alto.
The Trumpet is a treble to alto range instrument.
The Trombone is a Treble to bass instrument.
The Sousaphone or Euphoniums are bass to double bass instruments.
However, having said that, Jazz is not a particular style played with a particular set of instruments. It is a catchall name for any improvised music played on any instrument. All of the brass family of instruments have been used in Jazz bands. Equally all brass instruments are used in Classical Music.
For a small Dixie style band you would expect to see;
A trumpet
A trombone
A Banjo
A Sousaphone, Bombadon, or other bass brass instrument.
Drums
But even this isn't the minimum or maximum line up or even the definitive list of instruments that can or cannot be used.
All Jazz Music is by definition, experimental to a greater or lesser degree.
