"Autumn in New York" is a jazz standard composed by Vernon Duke
in Westport, Connecticut in the summer of 1934. It was written without
a commission or for a specific show, but was offered by Duke to

musicians and singers. The only version to achieve chart success as a
single in the USA was that by Frank Sinatra which reached No. 27 in 1949.
