A jazz
band (or jazz ensemble) is a musical ensemble that plays jazz music
usually without a conductor. Jazz bands usually consist of a rhythm section
and a horn section. During the jazz and swing eras in the mid-twentieth
century, the most successful jazz orchestras also employed strings and harp
in expanded arrangements, but their presence on the bandstand was more for
visual impact and not as a key component of the ensemble.
