Jazz guitarist Vince Lewis continues his JGT Arrangement Series with “Time After Time”

“Time After Time” was written in 1946 by Sammy Cahn and Julie Styne. It was composed for Frank Sinatra to introduce in the film “It Happened in Brooklyn” and the offscreen Pianist was the great Andre Previn. The First recordings were actually by Sarah Vaughan and Margaret Whiting.

Sintara actually recorded it in 1957, and that brought it to popularity as a Jazz Standard and it has been covered by multiple Jazz artists ever since.

This Solo Arrangement is a very playable mid-level Chord Melody Chart and one of my favorite tunes to play either as a Ballad or a Medium Swing tune.
