Jean Goldkette Bands 1924-29
Although he was a fine classically trained pianist who emigrated to the United States in 1911, Jean Goldkette's importance to jazz is as a bandleader in the 1920s. Goldkette actually had over 20 bands under his name by the mid-1920s, but it was his main unit (which recorded for Victor during 1924-29) that is the only one remembered today. This 24 track collection features Don Murray, Joe Venuti, Steve Brown, Hoagy Carmichael, Frank Trumbauer and others.
