Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Jean Goldkette (March 18, 1893 – March 24, 1962) was a jazz pianist and bandleader. He led many jazz and dance bands, of which the most popular was his Recording Orchestra of 1924–1929. The Goldkette Orchestra included many top jazz musicans. Some of these included were Fuzzy Farrar, Bix Beiderbecke, Joe Venuti, Steve Brown, Frankie Trumbauer, Hoagy Carmichael, Jimmy Dorsey, Tommy Dorsey, Eddie Lang, Chauncey Morehouse, Don Murray, Bill Rank, Don Redman and Spiegle Willcox. Goldkette was music director for the Detroit Athletic Club for over 20 years. Goldkette co-owned the Graystone Ballroom in Detroit with Charles Horvath, who performed with the Goldkette Band in its early years. He owned his own entertainment company, Jean Goldkette's Orchestras and Attractions, working out of the Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit. In 1927, Paul Whiteman hired most of Goldkette's better players due to Goldkette's inability to meet payroll for his top-notch musicians. Goldkette helped organize McKinney's Cotton Pickers and Glen Gray's Orange Blossoms, which became popular as the Casa Loma Orchestra. In the 1930s he left jazz to work as a booking agent and classical pianist. In 1939, he organized the American Symphony Orchestra which debuted at Carnegie Hall. He moved to California in 1961 and the following year died in Santa Barbara, California, of a heart attack at the age of 69. ********************************************** Included in Jean Goldkette and His Orchestra Encore 2 is a selection of his earliest recordings from 1924 and electrical recordings made for Victor in 1926. Also included is I Didn't Know (unissued) from 1924. The 1st minute of the original master only exists in a damaged form. This has a very early Bix Biderbecke solo.
