Piano Rootless Drop-Voicing 251s
this is an examination of the evans rootless chords in drop2 and drop3 voicings in the context of 251 progressions.
it covers both major and minor changes along with the most common altered dominants in those progressions in all twelve keys.
on this web page https://www.piano-lessons-riverside-ca.com/lessons/pianorootlessdropvoicing251s/prdv251s.html there are included 32 examples (with audio) out of the 160 pages of the book.
it is available in its entirety as either a pdf file or hardcopy book.
when you check out the hardcopy book link, be sure to have a lookee through the preview too.
as a bonus, the third section deals with very cool three-note 251 positions for the left hand derived from these drop voicing changes!
enjoy!

the link below is to a possible treatment of those topless-rootless voicings over standard/bop changes from the piano rootless drop-voicing book.
please take a look to see where this could lead by playing through it once, ok?

jarrett once said in an interview that
jazz students will get with it a great performance with a contemporary sound.
