I love this tune. I used to accompany a friend on clarinet on it before he passed away. The Duke Robillard version that the OP links to is really nice.
Here’s my attempt on solo guitar. I’ve been doing a lot more gardening than practicing lately, so it’s rough. I’ll try to work on finger mechanics and clean it up.
It's been awhile since i last logged in here, but there's a strange synchronicity in that i was just playing
'If I Had You' a couple of days ago, and here it is as this month's standard...
and so, off to the shed i will head, since there are still a few days left in the month!!!
In any case, here's a quick 'baseline' recording, playing the melody and changes from memory, and

Well done Jim.
I'm Glad you could carry the brand on.
I've always found your guitars to look elegant and unique. A testament to your designs.
Cheers to you!
Here's where I am with the tune. This is the loose intro it changes each time I play it followed by the little solo section that I play between verses. Comping with the singer is four to the bar...
Great news! I’ve had three hollowbody guitars: a 1974 Gibson ES-175, a 2002 Heritage Eagle, and a Soloway Gosling single 15. I just let go of the Gibson and I’m inclined to sell the Eagle if I can...
That's an interesting one.
It seems at some point lyrics were written to this tune...the vocal versions that use those lyrics don't have that little flourish that was clearly there, right from...
As you say in your thread title, it's just "Stupid Real Book" -- the Aebersold you posted has the correct line as does this sheet from the Colorado Cookbook:
The recording is always right.
For what it's worth, John Lewis does it sometimes where he plays the melody without that, but there will be a saxophone or something playing an approximation of that...
