Rootless 3-Note Shells

The Shell I voicing of Bb9sus4 stacks Eb, Ab and C from the bottom up: the 4th, minor 7th and 9th of the chord. It leaves out the root, Bb, 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 Bb9sus4 is Shell II.
