4-Note Rootless (Type A/B)

The Type B voicing of Cb7b5 stacks Bbb, Db, Eb and Gbb from the bottom up: the minor 7th, 9th, major 3rd and flat 5th of the chord. It leaves out the root, Cb, for the left hand or the bass player to take.

It's one of the 4-Note Rootless (Type A/B) voicings: four-note rootless voicings in their two forms, with the 3rd or the 7th on the bottom, played over the root. The other for Cb7b5 is Type A.
