    kenlister,

    Thanks for this beautiful chart.

    For easier readability, I made the chord symbols smaller in the bars that have more than two chords.

    I clutter up slow tunes with lots of changes because I like the challenge of finding progressions that work.

    Bill Evans was of course the master of this. His changes on Spring Is Here:

    I love the way he sticks in a phrase from I'm Old-Fashioned after the Eb7/Db in the Coda.

    Cheers,
    Jer

    EDIT: My changes are not exactly Bill's throughout. They're actually somewhat simplified. Kenlister's changes are from Chuck Sher's New Real Book 3 and are taken directly from a transcription of Bill's playing.

    SPRING IS HERE had multiple issues, but suffice to say I couldn't play it through with the music I had. So here's the version from "557 Standards in C" which has some nice voice leading goodies thrown in. Just in time for spring!
