Eddie Shu (ne Edward Shulman; 18 August 1918[1] New York City – 4 July 1986) was an American jazz musician who played saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, harmonica, and accordion.
[9] After Shu's discharge from the Army, he performed with Tadd Dameron (1947), George Shearing, Johnny Bothwell, Buddy Rich, Les Elgart, Lionel Hampton (1949–1950), Charlie Barnet, Chubby Jackson, and Gene Krupa (1954–1958).
[11][12] Carol Shulman, the widow of Eddie Shu, filed suit against Andy García, et al. in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming he stole the identity of her late husband for the film The Lost City.
The film centers on a Cuban nightclub owner fleeing the country's oppressive regime for New York.
Shulman claimed Eddie Shu was exiled from Cuba in 1958 for exercising freedom of expression after Fidel Castro came into power.
