Bert (né Benjamin Baruch) Ambrose (1896-1971) was an English bandleader and violinist. After playing in the USA he was engaged by the Embassy Club for 2 years, before taking up a lucrative job in New York. After one year he returned to the Embassy Club until 1927. Subsequently accepted an offer by the Mayfair Hotel, with a contract that included broadcasting. Ambrose stayed at the Mayfair for six years. In 1933 Ambrose was asked to accept a cut in pay at the Mayfair; 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 Mayfair Hotel in 1936. He then went into partnership with Jack Harris (an American bandleader), and in 1937 they bought a club together (Ciro's Club). For 3 months they even employed Art Tatum there. Ambrose then worked at the Café de Paris until the outbreak of World War II. This outstanding record was made in 1932 and the vocal is by Sam Browne..
