Bert Ambrose (Benjamin Baruch Ambrose) (September 15, 1896 - June 11, 1971), usually just known as Ambrose, was a British musician of the swing and dance band era. Born in London, Ambrose emigrated to the United States as a young man, and played with some bands there before returning to England and leading his famous band there.
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 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.
