Ambrose And His Orchestra play "Gangway", featuring vocals by the vivacious Evelyn Dall. The band really swings in this arrangement by Sid Phillips. Danny Polo takes an excellent clarinet solo towards the end of the side.
This transfer is from an America Decca (quite a few Ambrose Decca sides were also released in America). The original British release is Decca F-6473.
