    The bridge as I learned it is mostly a circle of fifths:

    || B∆ - - Fø - | Bbm7 - - Ebm7 - | Abm7 - - Db7 - | Gb∆ - - Gb7 - |

    | B∆ - - Fø - | Bbm7 - - Ebm7 - | Abm7 - - Db7 - | Fø - - Bb7#5 - ||

    Cheers,
    Jer

    Yes, this works as well. I also know other versions that use those changes on the bridge.
    The one I posted is from the original recording by Dave Brubeck

    Yes. Mine are from the published sheet music.

    I've stopped using any published music sheet (or fake books) about 20 years ago once I realized how inaccurate they were.
    I've also realized that the best way to learn tunes is to transcribe as many versions as possible, often starting with the original version that was performed by the composer (when available). That gives a broader view of tune.
    Sometimes some cover versions can be as good or even better than the original (but not always).
    I always think a chord chart as a guide. When performing, I would play according to what I hear at the moment, never strictly following specific chord changes in a chart. But to really understand the relationship between the melody and the harmony, a chart should be as accurate as possible. It's also more helpful when playing with musicians that have never heard the tune before.

    I don't disagree.

    But in this case the Time Out tune book appears to have been based on transcriptions of the complete arrangements and solos.

    There are surely a few books out there that are accurate. Yours is probably one of them.
    I have (actually "had") about 50 PDF fake books. There were errors in all of them!
    This is one of the reason I'm using iReal pro: I can edit any chord, structure of any song. This is much easier (and faster) to do than with a paper book or a PDF music sheet. When I need to write melodies or tunes that iReal Pro can't handle, I just use Finale (or Sibelius)
