George Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm" and contrafacts.

[Hardbopjazz]

How many tunes can you think of that use the changes to Rhythm Changes? 

Here are four I can think of off the top of my head. 

Sonny Rollins', Oleo,

Denzel Best's, Move 

Charlie Parker's Anthropology

 Duke Ellington's Cotton Tail.

Isn't the Flintstones Theme basically Rhythm changes?

Which I am told is why it's gotten covered by some jazz musicians.

"Move" has a little different bridge, turnaround too 

[jazzbo]

I think Django's "Daphne"

Do people not pay attention to bridges? 

[Chuck Nessa]

We don't need no stinkin' bridges!

[Milestones]

It's arguably the most popular tune of all...seems like Bird built most of his career on it.

There seems to be plenty of variation--this coming from someone who is neither a professional or amateur musician.

My personal favorite is Little Benny Harris' "Little Benny" (aka Crazeology).

Yeah, if the solos are also played with the chord alteration in the 5th and 6th bar.

The better should ! There are so many examples where you have a different bridge: Dizzy Atmosphere as that descending chords, Dexter Dig´s In has the brigde of "Stompin´at the Savoy"

Shag. Sidney Bechet.
