Why read it?
1 author picked Dick Hyman's Professional Chord Changes and Substitutions for 100 Tunes Every Musician Should Know as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This songbook is an incredible window into the world of chord movement and voice leading. Mr. Hyman offers the original chord symbols from chord sheets (often lost to history), professional substitutions that are frequently played, and his own substitutions offering some fresh new harmonic options.

From Jeb's list on for playing jazz tunes and standards on the piano.
