About New Orleans Big Band

Players compete to assemble a jazz band in the French quarter. But this singer won't work with that drummer, or that trumpet player won't play in a banjo band, or this saxophonist jumps in value with a clarinet player. Try to assemble the best band. After round 8, players may start trading. The starting player is the best singer. If there's an argument, have a sing-off! Nominated for the SdJ in 1990. The German text on the cards makes this difficult to enjoy for non-German speakers.
