As Time Goes By

This song from the movie Casablanca is as contemporary as it is classic. John Denton, one of our newest arrangers, offers a fresh treatment of this wonderful melody, done in a slow swing style. From the first note you'll know it's a great chart and that John's scoring for the younger player is right on target. You will hear the big full-ensemble sound and still have all the flexible instrumentation options. Clear and accurate jazz articulation, logical and easy-to-play swing figures, a smooth modulation, and a written tenor solo make this one a textbook chart. This outstanding arrangement sounds great, and you'll enjoy teaching the basics of swing style to the band. Just do it!
