This is the way I play April in Paris.
I end the tune with a Coda that begins with the alternate melody that starts the C section in the Count Basie arrangement.
I don't add on Basie's extended ending.
There are a couple of reharms and some rhythmic breaks in there as well.

Just listened to Kurt's version on You Tube. Pretty hip arrangement.
Here's my attempt at "April In Paris" arranged by Laurence Hobgood for Kurt Elling:
