Band
If you just happened to visit our website, you might wonder what a jazz orchestra is. The classic american jazz orchestra, whether it plays repertory or contemporary jazz, is often referred to as a “big band,” and its configuration usually consists of four sections: Rhythm, Saxophones, Trumpets, and Trombones.
