If you require only background jazz or swing music, a trio or a duo will suffice. These combinations will allow for token dancing if needed. Popular options are:
- saxophone/clarinet/flute, piano, string bass
- saxophone/clarinet/flute, guitar, string bass
- piano, string bass, drums
- piano, string bass
