A musical ensemble, also known as a music group or musical group,
is a group of people who perform instrumental and/or vocal music,
 with the ensemble typically known by a distinct name.
Some music ensembles consist solely of
such as the jazz quartet or the orchestra.
Some music ensembles consist solely of singers,
such as choirs and doo wop groups. In both popular music and classical music,
 there are ensembles in which both instrumentalists and singers perform,
such as the rock band or the Baroque chamber group for basso continuo (harpsichord and cello) and one or more singers.
 In classical music, trios or quartets either blend the sounds
of musical instrument families (such as piano, strings, and wind instruments)
or group together instruments from the same instrument family, such as string
 ensembles (e.g., string quartet) or wind ensembles (e.g., wind quintet). Some
 ensembles blend the sounds of a variety of instrument families, such as the
orchestra, which uses a string section, brass instruments, woodwinds and
percussion instruments, or the concert band, which uses brass, woodwinds
and percussion.

Jeff Flake as unpopular in Arizona — then claimed that Flake would stand with him on tax reform. “I think I am helped greatly in Arizona by what happened to Senator Flake,” Trump said, adding that the senator was very unpopular in his home state. When asked about how these feuds impacted tax reform, Trump said, “I really know that they want tax cuts.
