		Goldkette died on March 24, 1962, in Santa Barbara, Ca., leaving a modest recorded legacy of Victor 78s that epitomise the spirit of that brief, golden age.
		From the available evidence, it seems clear that Goldkette was neither French nor born in France, was nowhere near the United States at the age of 16, and so was hardly in a position to apply for an AFM card at that point.
		Jean would have only applied for union membership when he was entrenched enough in the local scene for it to be worth his while.

	Dismuke's Hit Of The Week
		Instead, Goldkette, a concert pianist by training, preferred to function behind the scenes as a sort of Jazz Age impresario.
		In Detroit, there was a Jean Goldkette Orchestra that performed at the Graystone Ballroom and another one that was regularly featured at the Book-Cadillac Hotel.
		Goldkette also promoted and booked other bands besides his own including McKinney's Cotton Pickers (Don Redman's orchestra) and a band named the Orange Blossoms which would later change its name to the Casa Loma Orchestra and become one of the more popular bands of the 1930s.

		The band played a number of engagements in southern Michigan in the first half of the decade before it was heard in Toledo by Jean Goldkette in 1925(16).
		Goldkette led a variety of bands, the most important of which was the Goldkette Graystone Ballroom Orchestra (the Victor Recording Orchestra).
		Goldkette also employed Bix in smaller bands that played at various resorts in Michigan, where the music was more freewheeling and "hotter" than that typically played by the Graystone band(26).

		Eddie Lang, although not a member of the Goldkette orchestra, played in most of the Victor recordings of the orchestra while Bix was with Goldkette.
		Thus, the Frank Trumbauer orchestra was a “band within a band” and, as customary, the musicians in the smaller band were drawn from the larger band.
		Because of financial difficulties, the Jean Goldkette Orchestra disbanded on September 18, 1927.

		However, in 1926, Beiderbecke became the orchestra's top soloist and the jazz lineup was pretty impressive with such musicians as Spiegle Willcox, Bill Rank, Don Murray, Frankie "Tram" Trumbauer, Joe Venuti, Eddie Lang, Steve Brown, and Chauncey Morehouse among the personnel.
		In 1927, Paul Whiteman hired away most of Goldkette's top jazz players (including Beiderbecke and Tram) and the band's later recordings are of lesser interest, although Hoagy Carmichael is heard on two vocals.
		In 1959, Jean Goldkette revived some of the old arrangements (adding some new ones by Sy Oliver) for a Camden "reunion" LP, but few of the sidemen (other than Chauncey Morehouse) were present.

	Bix's Fellow Musicians
		Jean Goldkette had several other groups of musicians under his banner, so when Frank Trumbauer came to Detroit in the early spring of 1926, Jean took him on, as he had booked a summer job at Hudson Lake Casino, Indiana, 20 miles from South Bend.
		But Jean wanted to have a large dance band (a la Whiteman) under his own name, and in 1922 his chance came up: he and his friend Charles Horvath were asked to run the Graystone Ballroom and they took the opportunity to organize a large dance band.
		The letter from Jean Goldkette is important not only as a historic document, but also because it shows Jean's deep concern for how the Band (Jean uses a capital B to refer to his Victor recording band) is doing in its Eastern tour.

	the 1950's to today
		Not to be outdone by other promoters, Jean brought rock 'n roll to Detroit promoting The Four Aces, Bobby Darin, the Four Coins, and Otis Williams' Charms among others.
		Jean's real interest, now that he realized the demise of ballrooms and his inability to recapture his standing in Detroit, turned to Hollywood, and friends like Johnny Green and Frankie Laine, now both well known in the entertainment industry.
		In the meantime, Jean had founded the National Artists Foundation, whose purpose was to establish a national clearing-house for unknown musical artists to present their talents before the public.

	Jean Goldkette : 1924-1929 - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Jean Goldkette's best-known big band was the 1926-1927 unit that featured cornetist Bix Beiderbecke and C-melody saxophonist Frankie Trumbauer.
		However, this very interesting collector's LP (which will hopefully be reissued on CD by the reactivated TOM label) features some of Goldkette's best recordings prior to and right after the Bix era.
		Among the key sidemen on these hot dance band sides are trombonist Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey on clarinet and alto, violinist Joe Venuti, and trumpeters Sterling Bose and Andy Secrest.

		Goldkette could swing as well as - or better than - any pre-swing dance band, including Whiteman, who boasted many of the same sidemen.
		Having heard and enjoyed a few Jean Goldkette tracks over the years, I looked forward to hearing what else his orchestra had done long ago.
		Jean Goldkette should be mentioned along with Paul Whiteman when people talk about the great white jazz bands of the 1920s.

		This will be the first time in over 70 years that the music of Jean Goldkette will have come back to his hometown in Indiana after coming over from Russia in 1910.
		The Goldkette's lived in Plymouth and LaPaz for many years, and it's our honor to bring this music back to their hometown.
		Although the musicians in the band (four reeds, three trumpets, two trombones, string bass, drums, xylophone, violin, guitar/banjo and flute) read their parts, they do so in such a manner that the sound they create sounds fresh, spontaneous, new.
