In the 1930s my father Philip John Korthals Altes was an avid collector of 78rpm records of British and American Jazz- and Dance bands. Many years later he made tape recordings of these records, which in turn I transformed into an extensive digital music archive.

This blog site is dedicated to my father's legacy of music.

Ambrose & his Orchestra: "Deep Henderson" (mid 1930s). This recording was made around the time that Ambrose played in the London Embassy Club and soon after returned to the May Fair Hotel.

Note: my father probably tape recorded this number from a later 33rpm LP release. The original 78rpm record, however, is still in my possession.
