Group of musicians heading for teeming Brazilian city (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trio

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'group of musicians' is the definition.
'trio' can be an answer for 'group' (a group of three). I am not certain of the 'of musicians' bit.

'heading for teeming brazilian city' is the wordplay.
'heading for' suggests taking the first letters.
'brazilian city' becomes 'rio' (I've seen this before).
The initial letter of 'teeming' is 't'.
't'+'rio'='TRIO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trio that I've seen before include "Beethoven's 'Archduke', for instance" , "Bee Gees, Supremes or Andrews Sisters, say" , "Threesome" , "Ensemble musical piece, eg Beethoven's 'Archduke'" , "Archduke, possibly" .)
