Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell I voicing of B6/9 stacks D#, G# and C# from the bottom up: the major 3rd, 6th and 9th of the chord. It leaves out the root, B, for the left hand or the bass player to take.

It's one of the Rootless 3-Note Shells voicings: three-note rootless voicings: the 3rd and 7th with one more tone, played over the root. The other for B6/9 is Shell II.
