Some people must live in the NPR world of pc. Jazz musicians come in all colors...black, white, and every other color of the human race. The challenge has always been when the band is made up of very dark skin and very pale skin. Years ago my daughters violin teacher would do a group picture with his students. Either perfect exposure of very dark black kid and washed out pale blond kid or perfect exposure of pale blond and a dark blob with only white teeth. Add harsh lighting of jazz club is additional challenge. But that is what makes photography interesting. Digital capture (I refuse to call it photography) shows results right away. Under the conditions discussed a lot of guessing and intuition comes into play. Don't be afraid to use very slow shutter speeds...can ptoduce interesting results.
