John, on this we will have to agree to disagree ...
The right chords are the chords the composer gave us to use ... yes, we are telling a story, but we telling the story as written by the composer ... If someone is playing "Misty" I want to hear the chords Errol Garner wrote ...
JMHO


I do see your point Tony, but a musician that has a good understanding of harmonic structure can use all sorts of substitution chords and even reharmoize a song.
We have all have probably heard great jazz pianists do very sophisticated version of simple pop tunes. Sometimes it can be quite effective.
