Hi,
i want to learn Like Someone In Love . But i'm not sure about the key.
All instrumental recordings i found are in Ab. Aebersold has it in C and Eb. iRealPro tells me Eb is the standard key.
In which key do you play this beautiful tune?
Thanks.
Tobias

I play it in both concert C and Eb (D and F for the trumpet). But when playing in other groups, most of times, they call it in Eb.
There are a few songs out there, that are commonly played in different keys. Songs like Autumn Leaves (Gm, Em), Rainy Day (F, G), Bluesette (Bb, G). In these cases, I usually just learn both keys.
Of course, if you're playing with a vocalist, then all bets are off, and all keys are on the table.

Thanks for your replies.
But why nobody plays it in Ab like Dexter, Trane, Lee, Art Farmer, Stan Getz or Kenny Dorham?
I'm just curious. Why isn't the key the great hornplayers played the song in the key that established as the "standard" key?

It might be because C and Eb are the keys in the Real Book and Aebersold, and that's what many of us use.
The Real Book (5th and 6 editions) has it in Eb.
The New Real Book, The Jazz Fakebook, and Aebersold all have it in C.

I always play it in Ab because both of the Blakey recordings and both of the Coltrane recordings, etc. are in Ab. The only recordings I have that are not in Ab are by either guitarists or vocalists. I have had it called on me at sessions in C, Eb, Bb & F. But in my experience, wherever the majority of the cornerstone recordings of a standard are (Ab in this case), is where I would learn the tune first.

Lee played it in Ab. I play it in Ab!!!
But if someone happens to call it in C or Eb I can play it there too.

This ^^^^^
I learned it in Ab from the Blakey studio recording with Lee Morgan and subsequently from the live Blakey recording w/Kenny Dorham and the Cecil Taylor/John Coltrane album with KD. All in Ab.
It lays really well in that key.
