📖 Story Behind the Song

Written in 1932 by Vernon Duke (music) and Yip Harburg (lyrics), April in Paris was originally composed for the Broadway revue Walk a Little Faster.

The song contrasts the familiar idea of spring with the unique atmosphere of Paris, portraying April not just as a season, but as a feeling — intoxicating, romantic, and unforgettable.

✨ Curiosity

April in Paris became especially famous through orchestral and jazz interpretations, including legendary big band versions, yet it remains just as powerful in intimate trio settings.
