Since I do them with off-the-shelf fake books, most of the chords are the standard changes. Not very adventurous, but instead, authentic.

I have a few collections that feature pro-substitution chords:

Each of these disks have two versions of each song, one with the published chords, and another with the author's substitutions. Personally, I like the Dick Hyman changes (#3 and 14) better than the Frank Mantooth changes (8 through 12). I like the way he moved the bass lines with the substitutions. On the other hand, the Mantooth books sometimes introduce some interesting slight dissonances.
