I don't know this tune, but there's something of that name in Ralph Patt's vanilla book:
If I Had You
Apparently there is also an Irving Berlin song of the same name, just to confuse matters!

i don't know that book
but those changes clear up my silly problem
what fantastic service
thanks gb!

i'm listening to frank's version with nelson riddle's endlessly entertaining arrangement
i wish i could sing the bloody thing effectively - my voice hardly works at all. just well enough to tempt me into trying to pull it off - but not well enough to pull it off.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Kenny Burrell.

he pulls it off

I first heard this song when I bought a CD by John Pizzarelli some years ago called All of Me. Here is the track.

I play this one a lot. The changes I use are the same as the Ralph Patt chart.

Here's a recent take by Duke Robillard. This is one of the tunes he teaches at Sonic Junction.

Duke Robillard seems to 'sing' - through his guitar.
And his solo seems to start with a snippet of That's All - nice nod to Mr Cole (without whom...)

it is possible to download iRealpro , which lists most Standards , very useful device

on a live gig if necessary, I suggest that you look at it , an invaluable aid which can
also be edited very simply. Take a look. I'm not sure that " If I had you " is included
as my MacBook isn't to hand. But I'll be surprised if it isn't . There are approx 1550
tunes and 1300+ Jazz tunes available . It's not expensive , a much cheaper alternative
to BIAB.

Great playing from a guitarist i don't know - thanks mark!
Alan - really nice of you to think of that. i will look it up - i use no clever modern stuff like that and i should do (i'm not 50 yet!)
i got a cd rom years and years ago that has master index and about 12 'fake book' type things - its all i use. and there are loads of gaps.
can't wait to find out about this properly

Oops... I see the link was posted already, but what the heck.... it is a wonderful version. I play a lot of the same stuff John does on his recordings, as I warble out vocals to the standards I perform live and John's vocal range is similar to mine....Last edited by docdosco; 10-27-2016 at 01:04 AM.
