A result of the late Mrs. Ira Gershwin's efforts to preserve the great unrecorded Gershwin scores STRIKE UP THE BAND was restored and partially recorded during a period that also yielded acclaimed studio cast albums of the Gershwins' Girl Crazy Lady Be Good! and Oh Kay._x000D_An earlier version of the score as heard during the show's pre-Broadway tryout in 1927 was released in 1991 but the final score extensively revised by the Gershwins and received rapturously by critics and audiences during the 1929-30 Broadway season was never fully tracked nor put into post-production &ndash until now.
Under the supervision of original producer Tommy Krasker the recording &ndash featuring Brent Barrett Don Chastain Rebecca Luker Jason Graae Beth Fowler Charles Goff Juliet Lambert Jeff Lyons and James Rocco plus a 16-member chorus a tap-dancing ensemble and an orchestra of 28 conducted by John Mauceri &ndash was completed during the spring of 2011 with the support of the Ira and Leonore Gershwin Trusts and the Music Division of the Library of Congress.
