Songs based on "I got rhythm"

[EKE BBB]

Who said all jazz songs were either "I got rhythm" or the blues?

Let´s take the first one.

Name songs (credited to songwriters different from Gershwin) based on "I got rhythm".

I´ll start with a bunch:

Cotton tail (Duke Ellington)

Lester leaps in (Lester Young)

Shag (Sidney Bechet)

Moose the mooche (Charlie Parker)

[BeBop]

If that Blue Note Board ever reopens with any history, perhaps my list of 150 or so Rhythm-based songs will resurface. Many good ones. Like the Flintstones Theme.

[Big Wheel]

Monk: 52nd St. Theme (modified bridge)

Bud Powell: Wail

Bud Powell: John's Abbey

Thad Jones: Fingers

Kenny Dorham: Straight Ahead

[Big Wheel]

Bird: Kim, Thrivin' On a Riff/Anthropology, Chasin' the Bird, many others

Sonny Stitt: The Eternal Triangle, The String (ET w/o the ET bridge)

Diz: Dizzy Atmosphere

[EKE BBB]

-Good bait (Tadd Dameron/Count Basie)

-Little Benny a.k.a. Crazeology (Charlie Parker) though I´ve seen it credited (as Crazeology) to Bud Powell

-Lemon drop (George Wallington)

-Swing spring (Miles Davis)

-Steeplechase (Charlie Parker)

[Sundog]

Incidentally, this phenomenon of basing a song on the chord changes of another is called "contrafact"

A few other songs fairly widely used as contrafacts are, What Is This Thing Called Love, How High The Moon, Honeysuckle Rose, and Tiger Rag.

Getting back to the point of the original post... Miles Davis' "Serpents Tooth" Is a good contrafact based on I Got Rhythm.
