Most of the standard changes you can hear in jazz very early on. For
example, in one of King Oliver's early 1920s blues, you can already
hear a #IVdim7 in bar six, and a VI7 in bar eight.

Also, some of the early jazz/blues songs go to V7 in bar two instead
of to IV.

Finally, the "innovative" bits of the classic "Bird blues" changes
derive from standard songs that long precede Parker, such as Georgia
on My Mind from 1930.
