rhythm changes question

[digital]

we all know of standards based on rhythm changes.
but now I'm looking for standards who use only the A part of rhythm or only the B part of rhythm .
anyone can help me with this strange question ?
Thanks.

[digital]

the bridge of caravan is kind of the same harmony as the rhythm bridge.
this is what I'm looking for.

Scrapple from the Apple. The A section is Honeysuckle Rose.

[graypencil]

If you double the bar lengths of the bridge changes ( four bars per chord change as opposed to two) ..

you essentially have the changes of Sweet Ga Brown (minus the turnarounds )

According to this Fats Navarro discography, both "Good Bait" and "Webb City" have a "Rhythm" A section with a different bridge.

http://csis.pace.edu/~varden/navarro/discog.htmlIs that what Digital is talking about--the changes to "I Got Rhythm"? If not, what's a "rhythm change"?

"Cloudburst" uses Rhythm changes for the A sections, but has a different bridge.

[graypencil]

" Good Bait"s Bridge section is the same thing as A..up a fourth ..

Yo, don't all answer me at once! :cool:


the plural "CHANGES" makes a big difference:

rhy. changeS = the chord changes of I got Riddum ..

these same changes are the basis for many contrafacts that have been created on the chordal scheme ( I know what the next question is gonna be.. :D )

a rhythm CHANGE would be segueing from a Strauss waltz to a Boogaloo ...

( I know what the next question is gonna be.. :D )The next question is gonna be, "How come you didn't just say yes?" :) But seriously, thanks, GP. It amazes me that everyone who posted knew that, even though "rhythm" wasn't capitalized.

Nothing was capitalized except A, B, and Thanks!

I guess I'm confused by the question. Are you looking for standards that consist only of the first 8 bars of a rhythm changes and have no other sections (just an A that repeats over and over)? Or a standard that consists of the first 8 bars of rhythm changes and has another section that is not the bridge of a rhythm section but something else.
Same question for the B section.
thanks

that would be an affirmative on both ...

[Pete C]

I assumed he's looking for an AABA form where either A or B, but not both, is Rhythm.

What's a "contrafact" !!!??

Is that a euphemism for something like the theme tune to "The Flintstones" ? ;)

THAT was the "next question" I expected :D


a contrafact is an original melody constructed over the chord changes of an existing standard melody..

[bluenoter]

Hey, are you gonna believe GP, a mere musician? I happen to know that a "contrafact" is

either

-- a true statement about a form of British folk dancing,

or

--a lie.

The bridge to "Bernies Tune" (oddly by Bernie Miller) bears resemblence to Rhythm Changes' A section

[graypencil]

the first four bars do ( Bb: 1/6/2/5 and repeat )

but the second four are differing a bit to get back to the minor A section )

(Bb: 1/6/2/5/ ! /1 /7dom /7dom=5 dom. of D minor )

[JazzAt52ndStreet]

....I think he means a song where the form is just the first four bars because the B section is tougher to solo over.....If that's the case there is no shame in just soloing over the A section.

contra=against, fact=something that already exists; hence, musically, playing something new or different against (texturally) something that already exists :)
