Orchester Lewis Ruth - Ruth, tanze heut Kubanisch mit mir! [Ruth, Dance Something Cuban With Me Now!] Rumba / Foxtrot (Meisel-Rosen) Refrain: Johannes Maximilian, Electrola 1931 (Germany)
NOTE: Lewis RUTH (b. Ludwig Rüth in 1889 in Landau, Germany - d. 1941 in Durban, South Africa) - German conductor of a dance band. From 1909 he studied flute, composition and conducting at the Munich Conservatory, as well as philosophy, medicine and musicology at the University of Munich. During Great War he was drafted into the army as an orchestra leader. After the war, Rüth gave up symphony and turned to entertainment; in 1925 he founded the Lewis Ruth Band in Berlin, with which he was a saxophonist. He enjoyed playing jazz pieces from the US, which explains anglicization of his name. He achieved great success working with the composer and conductor Theo Mackeben, who was the musical director of Bertolt Brecht & Kurt Weill's productions. In 1929, he invited Ruth to play at the premiere of The Threepenny Opera, which introduced him to the elite group of the best dance orchestras in Germany. In the years 1928-1937, under the name Lewis Ruth or Ludwig Rüth (in the Nazi years he returned to the name Ludwig Rüth), he recorded about 400 albums for Electrola, mostly for dance and with Schlager interpreters. His team also worked in nearly 20 film productions. For a long time he also directed the Orchestra at the most prestigious Metropol-Theater in Berlin’s Westend. Because Rüth lived with a Jewish woman, from 1933 he was under the surveillance of the NSDAP, which led to his emigration in 1937 to South Africa. He left his orchestra to the popular German composer Hans Carste, with whom Rüth had previously collaborated. In Durban, Rüth tried to pursue a musical career, but was boycotted by the local pro-Nazi German community, especially when in 1940 he joined the British South African Army. A year later he drowned in a swimming pool and sometimes his death date is given as 1947, perhaps to avoid suspicion of murder committed by Nazi circles in Durban. The photoshow depicts scenes from the golden years of the cruise-ships - just right for our hot season in July.

Delightfully sparkling and colourful orchestration, vigorously albeit smoothly played by an Orchester Lewis Ruth in great form. Johannes Maximilian's vocal was excellent too. Thanks a lot for sharing!
