WOWWW RARE, CLASSIC FOOTAGE OF THE GREAT AMBROSE & HIS ORCHESTRA!!! But can anyone please NAME ANY OF THE LEGENDARY MUSICIANS THAT YOU CAN SEE HERE??? Ambrose was well-known for employing the BEST in the business....I've heard of the names of most of them, such as the great Max Goldberg, Joe Crossman, Danny Polo, Ted Heath, Lew Davis, Sylvester Ahola, Max Bacon, Bert Read etc....But I'd LOVE TO ALSO BE ABLE TO PUT NAMES TO FACES😃😃😃 So can anyone in the know NAME some of the great musicians you can see here??? With TIME REFERENCES please....Thanks so much!!👍👍👍❤️❤️
Hi Colin, Here is the information you are looking for. The line up of the orchestra around this time would have been Tommy McQuater, Max Goldberg, Alfie Noakes (Trumpets) Lew Davis, Eric Breeze, Les Carew (Trombones) Danny Polo (Clt & Baritone) Chester Smith (Clt & Alto) Joe Jeanette (Alto & Flute) Billy Amstell (Clt & Ten) Bert Barnes (Piano) Jack Cooper (Guitar) Tiny Winters (Bass) Max Bacon (Drums) This is just a guess of the line up between July 1937 & Oct, 1938. Hope it is of some help.
The movie it is from is called "Kicking the Moon Around (Original title) release date. UK 30th, March 1938. The movie when it was re - released was known as Millionaire Merry-Go-Round. Also if you enjoy a little nostalgia I have a 30 min show in Hong Kong called Vintage Chart Toppers which deals with 78 recordings from the 1920's to the 1950's. with information on each disc and a story behind them. here is a link if you would care to have a listen. www.rthk.hk/radio/radio3/programme/vintage_chart_toppers/episode/777686
Love Ambrose and always thrilled to hear the Swing Era instrumentals; a real work-out for all the sections, especially brass.
