Vintage Camera for Collectors

This collection of 2-CD set represents what has become known as "EuroJazz" in the collecting circles. Lud Gluskin, one of the most successful American jazz musicians, crossed the Atlantic in the 1920s to work in Europe. The two CDs offer a selection of recordings that are representative of Gluskin's activities in Europe over a 10-year period. The transfers are arranged in chronological order based on the available recording dates. Several recordings on this compilation have never been reissued before, and some of the records were unknown until recently.

The personnel featured on these recordings include Eddie Ritten, Emile Christian, Gene Prendergast, Georges Charron, Spencer Clark, Howard Kennedy, Paulie Freed, Ben Pickering, Merrow Bodge, Ted Goebel, George Hirst, and many others.

This collection provides a unique glimpse into Lud Gluskin's musical journey and the vibrant jazz scene in Europe during the 1920s. The carefully curated selection of recordings showcases Gluskin's versatility and the diverse array of collaborations he engaged in while exploring the musical landscape across the Atlantic. These two CDs offer a valuable addition to the historical documentation of "EuroJazz" and the influential role played by American jazz musicians in shaping the European jazz scene during this pivotal era.
