David,

Just ran across Songtrellis for the first time today while doing a search for the changes to Well You Needn't. The changes you posted match the changes that are in the 'New Real Book', with bridge changes of
G7 | G7 | Ab7 | Ab7 | A7 Bb7 | B7 Bb7 | A7 Ab7 | G7 Gb7#11 |

The "New Real Book" also lists an alternate bridge of
Db9 | Db9 | D9 | D9 | Eb9 E9 | Eb9 D9 | Db9 C9 | B9 C7 |

The 'Ultimate Jazz Fake Book' has a different bridge of
Ab7 | Ab7 | A7 | A7 | Bb7 B7 | Bb7 A7 | Ab7 G7 | Gb7 C7 |

Do you have any insight into the origins or accuracy of the alternate changes.

Thanks, Joe
