Thanks Jack. I've been trying to catch up on understanding chord changes and hearing them, but that's pretty new to me. I'll have to look up Mark Levine's book.

Rhythm changes mean it's a tune based on the standard "I've got Rhythm". The form is AABA, but more than that, the chord changes will be the same. Anthropology, Cotton Tail. Salt Peanuts, and many others are contrafacts of "I've Got Rhythm". So whenever they call rhythm changes you know it's a 32 bar AABA form, usually up tempo.
