Pretty easy with a drummer and bass player and piano player, or even a guitar player. Get a fake book or Real book or write your own tunes and then your goldy.

yeah exactly; start with a rythm section, get them solid on stuff like real fakes and being able to groove together, and then when you find wind players or whatever else add them in.

That's pretty much it. You need a foundation (rhythm section) and then you can add the frontline or melodic instruments. Make sure you have a drummer who keeps time. That is essential!!!!!

It sounds like your "rhythm section" is already pretty stacked. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find someone who can actually comp well.
We've got one kid at my entire school who does it on piano.

I agree completely. There's nothing better you can do for your jazz playing than being in a combo.
