Still regarded as a truly perfect movie, the 1942 "Casablanca" still wows viewers today. And the main song from the film "As Time Goes By" still elicits a special reaction from our audiences every time we perform it. Louise Howlett and Albert Combrink recorded the song the album "Night Sessions" and remain true to the piano-lounge atmosphere of the original while putting a contemporary spin on it. A truly timeless classic.

Adding more Caffeine to this "Black Coffee": In their album “Night Sessions” Louise Howlett and Albert Combrink explore the journey of love with all its ups and downs. “Black Coffee” by (Sonny Burke with lyrics by Paul Webster) is the epitome of the torch songs expressing the pain of suffering the “blues” after a bitter disappointment in love. Their interpretation brings out an element of anger and defiance that is suggested by the harmonies of this atmospheric gem.
