The Jean Goldkette Orchestra featured some of the best White Jazz musicians of the 1920s. According to almost all that saw them when they played live they were a force to be reckoned with. The 1926/27 version of the orchestra featured Bix Beiderbecke, Frankie Trumbauer, Jimmy and Tommy Dorsey, Eddie Lang and Joe Venuti. When the band started to have financial problems, Paul Whiteman hired most of the above mentioned musicians. Bix Beiderbecke had a hard time with the Goldkette Orchestra. He was fired for his inability to read music and then re-hired after he learned enough music to get by.
