Need help with song ID please

[Dave Speranza]

I dug up some recordings to try to learn 'April in Paris' and found an odd thing on the Ahmad Jamal Cross Country Tour album...they have April in Paris listed on it, but they are not playing April in Paris.

Can anyone tell me what the name of the song they are playing is?

Hi Dave.

Is it a slow ballad? Maybe "the Second Time Around." I have a compilation with some tunes very similar to those on the record you're talking about, and the tune labeled "April In Paris" is actually "The Second Time Around" and the tune labeled "The Best Things For You" is actually "April in Paris."

On this version of the compilation
http://www.amazon.com/Cross-Country-...9296824#disc_1

The track names seem to be all corrected.

That version of April In Paris is great, with some classic Israel Crosby, one of my biggest influences to be sure. Of course, you've already had a listen to Basie's famous version, right? I don't think you can play the tune in an informed way without being familiar with that version.

If you like The Second Time Around, it's a Jimmy Van Heusen tune made popular by Sinatra.

I got the track off Rhapsody and it seems it was mislabeled. The song they are playing is "The Best Things For You"

Thanks!
