This is not a simple question. First, no two people can seem to agree on a definition of jazz, and second, many clarinetists in early jazz-like bands played saxes as a second instrument, with Clarinet as their primary axe. The first appearance of saxes in jazz bands is generally cited as occuring in 1914, in the bands of at least four leaders - Sam Dutry, John Joseph, Luis Russell, Paul Barnes.
Rudy Wiedoeft was one of the first saxophonists to play in a jazz (ragtime) style, but he was a soloist more than a band member. Sidney Bechet played regularly with King Oliver's band, but he played more on clarinet at that time.
It is easier to say which band leader developed the two alto, two tenor and one bari line-up that current jazz ensembles most often follow. That would be Glen Miller, but even he often had one of the alto players play a lead line on clarinet.

An ensemble or band.
The Cantus a cappella ensemble is a nine-member, all male ensemble based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was formed in 1995 by a group of students of the St. Olaf College.
A musical ensemble is a group of people who perform instrumental or vocal music, typical known by a distinct name. 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 ensemble or wind ensembles. In jazz ensembles, the instruments typically include wind instruments (one or more saxophones, trumpets, etc.) In rock ensembles, usually called rock bands, there are usually guitars and keyboards and a rhythm section made up of bass guitar and drum kit.
"très bien ensemble" means "very well together" in French.

In the 1840's Adolphe Sax invented the saxophone family. In today's concert band, saxophones play harmonies and blend with other band instruments. Saxophones are also very popular jazz and solo instruments. The saxophone family includes the Bb Soprano, Eb Alto (the most common), Bb Tenor, Eb Baritone and Bb Bass Saxophone. Fingerings are virtually the same on all saxophones, making it possible to play any saxophone. John Philip Souse wrote for saxophones in his band compositions. Bizet, Ravel, Debussy and Prokofiev included saxophones in their orchestral writing. Duke Ellington's jazz arrangements greatly defined the unique sound of the instruments, both in solo and ensemble playing. Some famous saxophone performers are Eugene Rousseau, Sigurd Rascher and Davide Sanborn.
