Herb Wiedoeft (22 November 1886 – 12 May 1928) was the brother of saxophonist Rudy Wiedoeft and a pioneering Los Angeles Jazz band leader. The band got it’s name from the Cinderella Roof at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles (506 South Grand Avenue). Wiedoeft’s life was cut tragically short when he was killed in a car accident in Medford Oregon on May 12, 1928.

After Wiedoeft’s death trombonist Jesse Stafford took over the band and released another 13 sides on Brunswick records under the name of the Jessie Stafford Orchestra. Other recordings by this band were released under the name of Herb Wiedoeft and his Orchestra and Herb Wiedoeft’s Famous Orchestra.
