In the mid-90s of the last century, Bernd Frank arranged the well-known jazz standard by Jerome Kern for the then saxophone quartet of the Hamburg Academy of Music as a feature for the tenor saxophone.

The introduction is slow, free in tempo and with a modern touch with tightly placed cluster chords. The second part of the introduction follows with the familiar opening motif in a medium swing tempo. From here on, all quavers remain ternary until the end. The theme is introduced from part A by Sax 3 (tenor) over a reggae-like riff by the baritone and can also be interpreted more freely. The middle section is fully set in tutti.

A longer improvised tenor saxophone solo follows from section D, which lasts a total of one and a half choruses. The first 8 bars are completely unaccompanied (pay attention to good timing and phrasing!). Otherwise, the accompaniment in the first passage from part E is first provided by a two-beat figure, then by a walking bass line of the baritone, which can also be played freely (chord symbols are included). From the second chorus (part H), sax 1 and sax 2 join in with a groovy background riff. At I, the solo leads into a homophonic shout chorus, where you have to pay attention to exact timing and articulation. After the D.S., the coda leads back to the opening riff, and the arrangement ends calmly and quietly after a short and easy ritardando.

This arrangement is a real highlight for all swing tenor players with good improvisation skills.
