For borrowed chords, see Borrowed chord.

A borrowed chord progression is a chord progression which contains chords borrowed from another piece or song. Examples include Thelonious Monk's jazz standard[1] "Evidence", which borrows the chord progression from Jesse Greer and Raymond Kloge's song "Just You, Just Me" (1929)[2]. The borrowing of chord progressions is an example of jazz contrafact[3].
