Really enjoyed it. Had not heard of that orchestra before. Worth being on the look out for their recordings.
What label?

Ray Starita was a British musician. His recordings were in England.

Yes, he recorded on British Columbia records. His brother Al Starita was also a bandleader... When you start looking at British records of the 1920's and 30's you will find a lot of talent. For example: Henry Hall, Jack Hylton, the Starita's, Ray Noble and Al Bowlly to mention a few...

That's a great version of the Gershwin tune.
Thanks for posting it.
