Answer:

It all began late in May of 1927 when Andy Preer who had been leading the house band at the Cotton Club died. ... The Cotton Club was owned by a consortium of mobsters led by bootlegger Owney Madden. The club's decor was modeled after the old South of plantations and slavery, hence the name The Cotton Club.
