Here is a fantastic arrangement for Ambrose and his Orchestra, written by the great Sid Phillips, of the old Fred Rose tune "Deep Henderson." Phillips was an innovative arranger, and his work for Ambrose was legendary in its own time. Phillips keeps the band swinging, but never overuses repetition or cliche riffs in his writing. Overall, a fantastic example of the cream of British dance band music.

The record is played on my Sparton radio-phono console unit, built around the 8-57 AM-FM radio chassis with phono preamp input. The unit includes a "slicer" record changer and the tonearm is equipped with an Astatic ceramic phono cartridge that uses a standard size sapphire-tip needle.

For this video, I mic'd the speaker at close proximity, rather than gathering the sound from further back in the room.

  • Probably the best pre war British Dance Band with the line up that it had. Sid P produced brilliant arragements (I'm not a musician!).

  • I love Ambrose. By the way, the Kansas City Night Hawks had a jazzy version of this tune recorded in the mid to late 20's. Thanks again.

  • Great tune! You done right with the mic,

    very good sound. Those old ceramic cartridges

    with needles are great.
