Tunes that have multiple bars per chord.

My Favourite Things. That one should've been obvious.

All Of Me also has a lot of chords going over two or more bars.

Some tunes that are more or less unjustly forgotten:

Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me
Who Stole my Heart Away
There's Gonna Be The Devil To Pay

We used to play that stuff with a swing trio.

Yeah I think though that while the charts for 30 standards give long stretches of chords in practice I play a lot of subs in that music. A lot of motion.

Tends to be different stuff than when I play bop. When I play bop I might use more ii v’s sideslips etc. When I play swing I use more common tone dim stuff, for instance. I don’t do this too consciously, I just go to what seems right for the gig by ear. I’m not going to be playing stride piano cliches on a contemporary jazz gig (except for a bit of humour.)

It’s just that the real book gives one set of subs for a certain point in jazz history. So people think standards have lots of chords, rather than structurally not that many. Also harmony is often approached in a middle out way than a top down way from the melody or lead line:

The thing is most styles have a set of cliches and tropes that get used to death. This is most certainly as true of post Rosenwinkel jazz guitar as it is of Django.
