London, 1897 d. Leeds, June 18, 1971 Theme: "When Day Is Done" Overview: Before Bert became a star in England, he had traveled to the USA getting his first job in a New York City theatre Pit orchestra, and then other bands. In 1922, he returned to the UK and formed a dance band for performance at Luigi's Embassy Club. He stayed at Luigi's for six years, and then moved to London's New Mayfair Hotel. During 1927 to 1933, the band became not only one of England's most popular, but one of the Premiere bands of the 1920's and '30s era, throughout the world. In 1933, Ambrose and English Decca inked a deal placing Bert's band on the Brunswick label in the USA. (On Jan. 4, 1935, Bert's band recorded the tune "Hors d'oeuvres". It was a popular release which Bert adopted as the band's theme. A little later, in one of those great 'spoofs', a version called "Horse Ovaries" began appearing on record shop shelves. Over the years, a great many musician's first appeared with his band, many of whom would later go on to lead bands of their own. Among these are: Kenny Baker, Sam Browne, Eddie Calvert, and pianist George Shearing. As a young man, Bert Ambrose emigrated to the USA and got his first job working in a New York City theater orchestra. In 1917, he was made the MD (musical director) of the Club de Vingt at New York's Palais Royal and remained there until 1920 when the owner of London's Embassy Club, Luigi, convinced him to return to England. In 1922, he was back in New York as MD of the Clover Gardens restaurant. And, once again Luigi brought him back to London, where 'Ambrose and his Embassy Club Orchestra' were booked into that Bond Street club. It might be noted that Luigi did not allow broadcasting from his club. Joe Crossman, a musician who was to figure prominently in many different bands, joined Ambrose in 1926 and the band also started recording for Columbia Records. Early in 1927, Ambrose became the MD for the Mayfair Hotel. The job paid 10,000 pounds Sterling per year. Bert took only Joe Crossman with him. Max Raiderman, pianist of the Embassy Club Orchestra became that band's leader. In the same year of 1927, Ambrose travelled to NYC and hired 5 American musicians, the best known of which was Henry "Hot Lips" Levine, who later achieved fame as the bandleader of the Chamber Music Society of Lower Basin Street radio program, the same program that introduced a young Dinah Shore to the world (over station WEAF (NBC's 'Red' Network), in NYC). The band was an immediate success when it opened at the Mayfair Hotel on March 27, 1927. In June, the band was featured on stage at the London Palladium. Brunswick Records then signed the band. Some of Ambrose's early recording had arrangements by Fred Elizalde, and quite possibly, some recordings may have been led by Fred, also. Some changes took place in 1928. Work permits of the American's had expired, and Joe Brannelly, the American Banjoist/Guitarist was sent back to the U.S. where he recruited more musicians including Perley Breed, sax; Sylvester Ahola, trumpet; and Leo Kahn on piano. Max Bacon was now the drummer and Ted Heath replaced Sam Acres on the trombone. Early 1928 saw Ambrose recording with the Gramophone Company (now EMI). Gramophone was featuring the Jack Hylton Orchestra and such top american bands as Paul Whiteman; Nat Shilkret; Jean Goldkette; George Olsen; and Fred Waring. Dissatisfied, Ambrose switched recording companies again, this time to the new Decca company. In August of 1929, the BBC began remote broadcasts of Ambrose from the Mayfair Hotel. These broadcasts and his recordings finally made him a national success. In autumn 1933, Ambrose returned to the Embassy Club remaining there until 1936. In Sept 14, 1936, he returned to the Mayfair Hotel. In March 1937, in Ambrose and Jack Harris, in partnership, took over management of the Ciro's Club. The partnership was ill-fated and Spring of 1938 saw Ambrose leading his band at the Cafe de Paris. For much of 1938 and 1939 the Ambrose band was inactive.
