Yep, ‘Chord Chemistry’...I didn’t find it the easiest read but i dipped in and out of it and certainly generated some ideas.

I found Modern Chord Progressions a lot easier to get into than Chord Chemistry. Different strokes and all that...

I learn a few songs from Howard Morgan's Chord Melody books a long time ago, they were nice arrangements.

I remember learning "Laura" from his book, great song.

Here he is playing "Laura", he's got a older, but haven't we all.

For Jazz Standards Chord Melody, Howard Alden is one of the best too, he went to the Wales Jazz guitar festival a lot.

I love his “django” melody, it’s the same as 2:10 here: https://youtu.be/F8JJncSUdUU

it creates a really lovely tender sound. Can’t describe it properly. Reminds me of parlour playing in the 30s.
