Yeah, the two designations are probably more interchangeable than not. However (!), in spite of the use of the term “group” by even professional ensembles (hah!), I think that “band” tends to carry a little more weight as far as expectations of experience playing together and overall cohesion. Number of members is generally irrelevant for designation as one or the other.
What if any, is the difference between a band or a group?
My personal feeling is a band consists of 4 or more artists. A group, 3 or less.
Any thoughts if this is a distinction that has any merit?
