I don't have a copy of the Levine handy here, but be advised that quite a few jazz instruction books use chord changes from other well known standards for their examples.

Substituting your own composed melody over the same chord changes means that you don't have to deal with the copyright or royalty issues.

So you guys might go through those songs looking for chord changes recognizable from the Standards.

Best to do that using the numbers rather than the chordnames, as the key may be changed from the original as well.

Once you know the Standard - if that is the case here - you might find a BiaB file already made of that Standard and just use that, mute or change melody track if need be, etc.
