| There are different theories regarding how to set up a big band.
Many times big bands are set up with the lead players more or less in the middle of the section, and the lowest part players are sitting the furthest from the rhythm section.
I remember once playing with a big band that chose to put the barry sax and the bass trombone player right next to the rhythm section rather than furthest away from it, and it had a rather large impact on the tightness of the band.
Maybe the same idea was being utilized with this last section that you posted - they put the lead player next to the rhythm section - that's who they need to lock into.
