Different jazz band leaders/instructors will have different requirements, but you can bet any jazz band audition will have these two: Demonstrating good sight reading ability, and demonstrating good ability to improvise - especially the latter. Jazz is all about the ability to improvise.

There are heaps, but my favorite is the singer in the band Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
A full jazz band usually has four, maybe five trumpets. Some charts only use three.
Mostly jazz and some marching band, some brass bands, rap, rock, many diverse music sounds

Jumpin Jazz Kids is a good place to start. Thirty Tigers' "Jazz Swing for Kids" is very popular. There is also a band called "Baby Loves Jazz" that is becoming more well known.
If you speak to your dance teacher, they should have a folder of some kind with information called 'examiner's inset folder' or something like that. It gives the grade descriptors and the requirements for all Modern Jazz Grades :)
Audition
There are many different instruments that can be used in a jazz band. The most common include saxophones, trumpets and horns, and trombones. Some jazz bands use other instruments such as flutes, drums, and vibraphones as well. There isn't an accurate explanation as to why because jazz bands are usually improvised and comprised of different people and different musical talents and sounds.
Not exactly certain but some time in the 1920's. In that decade the ODJB, the popular white New Orleans band, did a tour in the U.K. As they were the first jazz band to record, it's likely that their records, that had had been released in the U.K., led to their being asked to tour. Subsequently, many jazz bands formed in the U.K. to play the "new" music.
