Lud Gluskin (1898-1989) was a New York pit drummer who organized several hot dance orchestras in Europe during the 1920s-1930s. Gluskin soon became the most successful American orchestra leader operating in Europe and fronted bands composed of the best available international musicians. His musical activity was concentrated largely in France and Germany, although he frequently toured in Belgium, Holland, Sweden, etc. At one time, he was recording for as many as five record companies and recorded around 450 records during his European sojourn. The effects of the Great Depression and worsening political situation in Central Europe caused Gluskin to return to the United States in 1933.
Gluskin had a stellar musical career in the US after his return. He was nominated for the Academy Award for best original score for his work on the film, "The Man in the Iron Mask," although the prize went to "The Wizard of OZ." Gluskin composed scores and lead studio orchestras for numerous other motion pictures. He also lead orchestras for radio and television shows including: The Ed Wynn Show; The Burns and Allen Show; The Johnny Carson Show; and Gunsmoke.
The recordings on this double CD compilation are from Gluskin's European period and tend to be commercially oriented -- but they exhibit occasional jazz moments. The performances are often musically interesting, although Gluskin's scoring is sometimes a bit heavy on the ensemble side. This CD set is worth having if you like 1920s-1930s recordings of the hot dance/commercial genre. However, if your preferences lean predominantly towards jazz, you will not likely be satisfied with this set.
