No. There has, pretty much, always been white musicians in jazz, at least from the early 1900's.
Before that, who knows? As there was no recording industry as such, there is no documentary or Audi proof of what was going racially in jazz prior to the turn of the 19th century.

Jazz music was born in new Orleans and was spread to the north by such musicans as?
We do not definitely know that jazz was born in New Orleans however it was certainly a hotbed of the music. And, as jazz musicians were employed as entertainers on the river boats that plied the Mississippi, this helped to spread knowledge of the music as far North as St.Louis and towns in between. When, the red light area of New Orleans was forcibly closed down on moral grounds, much of the work for jazz musicians in the city's clubs and brothels dried up. A forced migration of musicians to all over the US then began as an economic necessity.

How was jazz formed?
Jazz is a musical art form originally developed by African Americans from around the turn of the 20th century. It is characterized by blue notes, syncopation, swing, call and response, polyrhythms, and improvisation sometimes in jam sessions. As the first original art form to emerge from the United States of America, jazz has been described as "America's Classical Music". Jazz has roots in the cultural and musical expression of West Africa and the western Sahel, and in African American music traditions, including blues and ragtime, as well as European military band music. After originating in African American communities near the beginning of the 20th century, jazz gained international popularity by the 1920s. Since then, jazz has had a profoundly pervasive influence on other musical styles worldwide. Today, various jazz styles continue to evolve. Jazz originated from African Americans. By the early 1890s, these first free-blacks were about 25 years old, and were producing new music. Gospel, blues and jazz all originated at that time, in the early 1890s, as a result of the first free-blacks living in very new conditions. jazz comes from several things. first off, the African American blues music. then the swing/waltz movements. jazz uses the same scales, chords, and beats. as with any music, its influences didn't come from one group. you cant say that all jazz is black, just like you cant say all rock is white. Some of the first jazz musicians were white swing musicians. Most people confuse uptempo blues with early jazz, thus saying that its all black.

What instruments would you find in a jazz group?
All of them. But I would say that the standard grouping (for a trio, at least) would be a percussionist, a pianist, and an upright bassist. Now of course you could throw in a vocalist, but from there the list explodes because there have been famous jazz musicians on almost every instrument you can think of - jazz is just a style of music, and any instrument that can play music can play it in the jazz style.
What do jazz musicians call a musical mistake?
There are many different versions of this quote. The two most famous are: "Once is a mistake, twice is jazz." "Once a mistake, twice an arrangement, three times is jazz." The quotes are most often credited as anonymous, if credited at all. Miles Davis is often quoted as saying "If you don't make mistakes, you're not trying hard enough." He was known for living what he said, releasing albums with many mistakes instead of editing them out like other musicians did.
