Instrumentation

Both pieces use the instrumentation of trumpet, trombone, and saxophone. The calypso piece has 2 saxophones though. Both pieces also use vocals yet the piece uses vocals very little while the calypso piece mainly uses vocals. Calypso piece in contrast to Jazz piece includes a keyboard while the jazz piece use drums. Both pieces are small ensembles but later in both genres the smaller ensembles did expand and there weren’t just small ensembles.
