Index Rhythm changes

In jazz and jazz harmony, "rhythm changes" refers to the 32 bar chord progression occurring in George Gershwin's song "I Got Rhythm." The progression uses an AABA form, with each A section based on repetitions of the ubiquitous I-VI-ii-V sequence (or variants such as iii-VI-ii-V), and the B section using a circle of fifths sequence based on III7-VI7-II7-V7, a progression which is sometimes given passing chords.
