About Arthur Rosebery

Lived 1904 – 1986 (aged 81–82). Arthur Rosebery was a British bandleader, conductor and jazz musician.

Arthur Rosebery (1904-1986) was an English pianist and singer. He began working as a pianist in 1921, and a few years later he formed a trio which included Billy Cotton. With his orchestra, the Kit Cat band, Rosebery worked in various London clubs and also made a number of recordings of contemporary dance music, which became very popular in the 1930s.
