And then there was the race card to deal with. Jazz was considered an African-American invention, indeed the most profound statement of an entire culture

There's nothing so profound than blatant revisionist history...Who the hell referred to Jazz as being an African-American invention back when it was being invented?

Actually, jazz was believed by many to be decadent, "black" music, which is one of the reasons that it was banned by Nazi Germany in the 1930s.
