I've skimmed through the article, but the truth is that if there had 
been any major soloists involved, then there would have been no doubt 
who was present. The proposition that there may have been some black 
players on Goldkette recordings is a pretty academic one. The important 
thing  is the music--is it any good? Are there people out there whose 
sole reason for playing certain Goldkette recordings is on the 
off-chance of some McKinney personnel being present?
