Funny thing is, they do in New Orleans.  But seems as if pretty much nowhere 
else.

We would welcome any blacks, or for that matter, anyone of any race, if they 
played OKOM.  In our local Jazz Society, we had one black bass player who 
since has passed away.  I don't think out of maybe 150 active musicians in 
the club, that we have any.  Too bad...
