That makes sense, then- it was a small reference and I missed it, sorry. But that also means we can't even count on some sort of irregularity in instruments.

As for nationalities, I would've picked the Italian guy too...

But as far as why a Frenchman/Italian/Eastern European/Insert nationality here would be in a jazz band- after the 20's, jazz was popular everywhere. Several jazz band leaders, such as Paul Whiteman, boasted to have the best musicians of every culture in his band (oddly enough, he decided not to include the blacks that invented jazz in said band.)
