This article is shameless self promotion. Obviously whoever created it is affiliated with the hall high school jazz band and is using wikipedia for personal gain. Delete as vanity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WhiteFang ( talk • contribs) 12:50, 17 October 2005
What about the so-called "jazz bands" popular in former mining communities in Northern England and South Wales? These are really children's marching bands, typically instrumented with drums, glockenspiels and kazoos, and have nothing whatsoever to do with jazz music. -- GCarty 15:37, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I have removed the reference to "jazz ensemble" as being a term from western dialects of American English. I can attest to its use in the American South, where it is scarcely less common than "jazz band." -- Rob C (Alarob) 17:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I have formatted the list of notable jazz bands using bullet points, but they really need short accompanying descriptions, and possibly split up into subsections CSJJ104 ( talk) 18:02, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
Anyone have any tips on improving this article? Seems everything I add to this article would be better suited on other more specific articles. David Condrey ( talk) 18:47, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
If anyone, like me, is struggling with finding sources then Wikipedia:WikiProject Jazz has a list of possible sources for editors. CSJJ104 ( talk) 21:26, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
Personally I'm not a fan of 'Famous' or 'Notable' lists and don't really think they have a place on Wikipedia. Suggest removing list of Notable bands and festivals or moving them to more appropriate articles which already have lists: List of jazz musicians and List of jazz festivals. David Condrey ( talk) 20:21, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
I agree with CSJJ104's suggestion and would tend to integrate the noteable bands into the flowing text in the history section. -- Melody Lavender ( talk) 06:06, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
I'm traveling in China, so I'm just passing by, but I'd like to let everybody know that the article has been expanded 5 times in the last seven days, and is therefore eligible for a DYK ("Did you know..."). DYKs appear on Wikipedia's Main page, so writing one would be another way of making the TAFI project visible! (I wrote one for Java Man two weeks ago.) Is someone up for it?

...that a jazz band is ______________?
I've removed a large amount of commented-out material which was copypasted from http://www.allaboutjazz.com/best-quintets-sextets-and-big-bands-by-aaj-staff.php along with a note stating the editor's intention to return to it later. I believe this was a good-faith edit, but copyrighted material should not be added to articles, regardless of whether it is commented out or not. Also, the Quintets section is dangerously close to running afoul of the guideline on close paraphrasing. Nick Number ( talk) 16:50, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

What's the point of this article? There are already articles about big bands, instruments, and the history of jazz. Should this be merged or deleted?
