The race of the musicians in Whiteman's band is not dispositive as to whether or not the music he played was "jazz". Segregation in employment, bookings, and audiences is a major element of the history of jazz, but it doesn't tell you what kind of music was being played. The music is the music. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frankencents (talk • contribs)
