Lud GLUSKIN (Ludwig Elias Gluskin) born 1898 in New York , died 1989 in Palm Springs, California, né: Ludwig Elias Gluskin.
In late 1920s and early 1930s Lud Gluskin's orchestra was the only American band who continously toured Europe (though 'homebased' in Paris, France). While their recorded output was basically of the commercial dance band variety, nearly all of the members were primarily \"hot\" men and could play excellent jazz. The large majority of Americans in the group were from Detroit, and the Goldkette influence is evident.
