Which is not a section and a jazz big band brass trumpets and trombones reads saxophones rhythm drums guitars piano strings violin violos cellos

It seems like you're listing instruments typically found in a jazz big band. In the context of jazz big band instrumentation, the sections are usually categorized as follows:

  1. Brass Section: Trumpets and trombones
  2. Woodwinds Section: Saxophones (alto, tenor, baritone)
  3. Rhythm Section: Piano, guitar, bass, and drums

In a traditional jazz big band, strings like violins and cellos are not typically included as standard sections. Therefore, "strings" (violins, violas, cellos) is not a standard section in a jazz big band context.
