List of jazz contrafacts
{{Short description|A list of new jazz melodies based on the chords of existing compositions}}
__NOTOC__
A contrafact is a musical composition built using the chord progression of a pre-existing song, but with a new melody and arrangement. Typically the original tune's progression and song form will be reused but occasionally just a section will be reused in the new composition. The term comes from classical music and was first applied to jazz by musicologists in the 1970s and 1980s.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}}
