@acman3 I'm not sure I can help out as it's a head scratcher for me.
I figured that perhaps the focus (primarily) on American musicians was in service of and/or in preferred service of the OP's request and stated needs as well as for historic / origin purposes.
In general, I find the Continental Jazz scene under-represented in our forum, which may be another reason; i.e. simply a lack of interest (?).
