Which bandleader is credited with establishing saxophones as a standard part of the jazz ensemble?
This is not a simple question. First, no two people can seem to agree on a definition of jazz, and second, many clarinetists in early jazz-like bands played saxes as a second instrument, with Clarinet as their primary axe. The first appearance of saxes in jazz bands is generally cited as occuring in 1914, in the bands of at least four leaders - Sam Dutry, John Joseph, Luis Russell, Paul Barnes.
Rudy Wiedoeft was one of the first saxophonists to play in a jazz (ragtime) style, but he was a soloist more than a band member. Sidney Bechet played regularly with King Oliver's band, but he played more on clarinet at that time.
It is easier to say which band leader developed the two alto, two tenor and one bari line-up that current jazz ensembles most often follow. That would be Glen Miller, but even he often had one of the alto players play a lead line on clarinet.

In the 1840's Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone family. In today's concert band, saxophones play harmonies and blend with other band instruments. Saxophones are also very popular jazz and solo instruments. The saxophone family includes the Bb Soprano, Eb Alto (the most common), Bb Tenor, Eb Baritone and Bb Bass Saxophone. Fingerings are virtually the same on all saxophones, making it possible to play any saxophone. John Philip Souse wrote for saxophones in his band compositions.

Duke Ellington's jazz arrangements greatly defined the unique sound of the instruments, both in solo and ensemble playing. Some famous saxophone performers are Eugene Rousseau, Sigurd Rascher and Davide Sanborn.
