	Ambrose (bandleader) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Benjamin Baruch Ambrose (15 September 1896–11 June 1971) was an English bandleader and violinist.
		Ambrose was born in the East End of London; his father was a Jewish wool merchant.
		In 1933 Ambrose was asked to accept a cut in pay at the May Fair; refusing, he went back to the Embassy Club, and after three years there (and a national tour), he rejected American offers and returned to the May Fair Hotel in 1936.

	ambrose
		Ambrose was elected president; and Palladius, being called upon to defend his opinions, declined, insisting that the meeting was a partial one, and that, all the bishops of the empire not being present, the sense of the Christian church concerning the question in dispute could not be obtained.
		Ambrose was equally zealous in combating the attempt made by the upholders of the old state religion to resist the enactments of Christian emperors.
		Ambrose's intense episcopal consciousness furthered the growing doctrine of the Church and its sacerdotal ministry, while the prevalent asceticism of the day, continuing the Stoic and Ciceronian training of his youth, enabled him to promulgate a lofty standard of Christian ethics.

	Francis - Jazz Development in Britain
		Ambrose left the Embassy Club in 1922 to again work in America, but was persuaded to return to the club after a comparatively short period.
		The transfer of Ambrose's activities was an important development in not only his own career but also in the widening of the influence of his policy of maintaining a high standard of perfection, which included many jazz- orientated arrangements, upon the music profession at large.
		Later in 1933, Ambrose returned for the last time to the Embassy Club and, between then and September 1936, when he again took the orchestra back to the Mayfair Hotel, there were further augmentations resulting in just about the perfect ensemble.

		Bert Ambrose was born in London, England, in 1897 and as a young man emigrated to USA where he studied the violin.
		Ambrose was not considered the top band by HMV who were also releasing very popular recordings by Jack Hylton, Paul Whiteman and others.
		The Ambrose 'sound' was special - the band benefitted from the superb technical skills of the players and the fine arrangements of Sid Phillips and Bert Barnes, and these combined to produce a unique sound full of warmth and intricate section playing with first rate solo work.

		Ambrose’s recording career at this time was still meagre, although throughout 1929 the band made some interesting records for Decca that unfortunately were marred by poor recording technology.
		Ambrose’s HMV contract was somewhat restrictive regarding the titles that he could record and he had no control over the American selections.

		Ari Ambrose is a no-nonsense tenor saxist with a sound straight out of the old school - think Don Byas, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Paul Gonsalves, Lucky Thompson - but with the rhythmic, intervallic and harmonic hipness and technical command of any and all of today's leading figures.

		At the age of 12 she decided she wanted to become a professional singer, however it was her resemblance to Marilyn Monroe as much as her supple soprano voice that led to her recruitment as featured singer with the highly respected Bert Ambrose and his orchestra.
		Kathy remained with Ambrose's band for three years,and although he remained her mentor, Kathy sang with other big bands before striking out on her own via cabaret residences in Madrid and London.
		Yet Ambrose's belief in Kathy's talent was to be vindicated when the tide turned, albeit with majestic slowness, after she resurfaced as a substantial star of the nostalgia circuit.
