Our Take

Everything's coming up Ambrose! The essential collection from Ambrose & His Orchestra is a time machine back to the swinging sounds of the 1930s and 40s. This 3-disc set is like a vintage cocktail - smooth, classy, and guaranteed to get you in the mood to bust out your best dance moves.

With hits like "Happiness is a Thing Called Joe" and "South Rampart Street Parade", Ambrose & His Orchestra prove why they were the toast of the town back in the day. The arrangements are tight, the brass section is on fire, and Ambrose himself brings a suave sophistication to every track.

But it's not all just toe-tapping tunes - there's a sense of nostalgia that permeates every note. Listening to tracks like "Goodnight Sweetheart" and "By a Waterfall" feels like stepping back in time to a glamorous era of big bands and ballrooms. It's music that transports you to a bygone age where romance was in the air and swing was king.

So dust off your dancing shoes, grab a partner, and let Ambrose & His Orchestra take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget. The essential collection is a must-have for any fan of vintage jazz and big band music. Trust me, you'll be humming these tunes for days on end. Cheers to Ambrose - long live the swing!

About the artist

Ambrose and His Orchestra

AMBROSE & HIS ORCHESTRA may sound like a throwback to a bygone era, but this British band is anything but outdated. Led by the enigmatic frontman Ambrose, this eccentric ensemble brings a refreshing twist to classic big band music. With a sound that blends swing, jazz, and a touch of surrealism, AMBROSE & HIS ORCHESTRA take listeners on a journey through time and space. Their music is a delightful fusion of old-school charm and modern sensibilities, creating a unique and unforgettable listening experience. Ambrose himself is a true musical prodigy, with a knack for crafting intricate arrangements and dizzying melodies. His live performances are a sight to behold, as he leads his orchestra with a charismatic flair that is both captivating and electrifying. But don't let their vintage aesthetic fool you - AMBROSE & HIS ORCHESTRA are not your typical retro act. Their lyrics are quirky and thought-provoking, touching on themes of love, loss, and the absurdity of life. And their musicianship is top-notch, with each member of the orchestra bringing their own unique flair to the table. In a music industry saturated with cookie-cutter pop acts, AMBROSE & HIS ORCHESTRA stand out as a breath of fresh air. Their music is a celebration of the eclectic and the eccentric, a joyful reminder that sometimes the best way to move forward is to look back. So if you're looking for a musical experience that is equal parts nostalgic and innovative, look no further than AMBROSE & HIS ORCHESTRA. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
