Find as many of your favorite tunes as you can in a Bill Evans discography and then spend a day listening to them over and over and over. If you've got a good ear, you'll learn all you need to know.
With jazz chords, it sometimes depends on the instrument. For instance, jazz guitar chords tend to be voiced differently than jazz chords on a piano, and different still on a 'Rhodes'. For Rhodes, it's George Duke all the way for me.
I don't do substitutions as much as revoicings. There are just some jazz chords I tend to play in a certain way in certain keys....not a good thing, just habit and laziness. Like Tony, I'd be interested in learning a few new (easy) tricks, so let's have it, folks.
