April in Paris is a popular song composed by Vernon Duke with lyrics by Yip Harburg in 1932 for the Broadway musical Walk a Little Faster. The original 1933 hit was performed by Freddy Martin, and the 1952 remake (inspired by the movie of the same name) was by the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra, whose version made the Cashbox Top 50. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements. We also added some left-hand rhythm to keep the beat flowing! We hope you like what we've done with the song!
