It depends, but usually 17-20, at least in my region. There are usually 4 or 5 trumpets, 4 trombones, 5 saxes, 1 guitar, 1 bass guitar, 1 drummer, 1 piano player, and sometimes a singer. Also, there is usually a director, and sometimes the director plays solos. However, there can be as few as about 12 or 13 and as many as 25 or so.
In the Big Band heyday, the 6 years before World War II, the "standard" Big Band touring band was 5 brass (3 trumpets, 2 trombones), 4 reeds (2 alto sax, 2 tenor sax), 3 rhythm (1 piano, 1 STRING bass, 1 drums). But nothing was really "standard" and all sections could have additions; probably number one was a fourth rhythm - a guitar. So basic was only 12 band members, and they often "cheated" with less than 5 in the brass section. Then the leaders who could afford it added more musicians in any section they wanted. To live in those travelling bands, you had to be under 22 years old. It was brutal. You had to be very young and love the music to survive the ordeal.
