Ammy had that same 'thing' that Whiteman had. A large very elegant and suave band, but also lots of room for the best jazz solos. And he paid better than any European band leader at the time. So his members stayed with him and hardly recorded outside of the band. It just wasn't necessary.

This is just FANTASTIC!!! There are several versions of this song I love, But this version and Connie Boswell`s version I LOVE! This one is more peppy & Connie`s is one You don`t want to listen to if You are contemplating suicide, It is one of the most Bittersweet and sad hopeless versions I`ve heard! I don`t know why I love it so much! But I do.

Heartfelt version and, oh, all these gloomy people in the video make me so sad until I hear the phrase "gigolo and gigolette" which makes me smile a bit.

Thanks! Yes, Ambrose was absolutely unique. He had two souls: one was hot jazzy & temperamental and second - refined, most restrained in the finest arrangements and clear as a crystal.

Thank you Lana! That tune is really hearbreaking. There are in YT a few renditions of the "Boulevard..." but this one seems to me, perhaps, the most sophisticated
