Strike Up the Band (Red Garland album)

Strike Up the Band is an album by pianist Red Garland which was recorded in 1979 and released on the Galaxy label in 1981.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Pianist Red Garland's final Galaxy set (he only recorded two other records before his death in 1984) is an outing with an all-star quintet ... The pianist, who had spent much of the past 16 years living in his native Texas, shows that he could still swing with the best".
