What tunes feature surround tone (enclosures) melodies?

Recommended Posts

I am making a list of jazz standards that feature surround tone melodic shapes (also called enclosures, double neighbors, etc.). 3 come to mind, but I can't think others, but I'm sure there are. Can you think of any?

 

"Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me"

"Stormy Weather"

"Blue Monk"

Passing tones and chromatic neighbor tone embellishments do not necessarily make for classic "surround tone" enclosures. Unfortunately non of the suggestions qualified.
