I have to agree with those who would like to hear the Goldkette band at 
it's best. If I had a time machine, though, I would have to seriously 
consider paying  attention to the bands that everybody talks about but 
almost nobody recorded: Speed Webb and Peck Kelly come to mind. Then, of 
course, there is Emmett Hardy, second only to Buddy Bolden as an 
enigmatic well-spring of jazz as we know it. Can you imagine sitting in 
on a duet between Emmett and Bix?
