I think you didn't understand my point. The name "drop" comes from the way the resulting voicing is constructed, just like the name "shell" comes from the the way the voicing is constructed. What...
Just easier to come up with good voicings without worrying about the drops too. That C G B E for Am7 could go to C F# B E and I wouldn’t have to call it a maj7b5 off the b7 then to C F# B...
Drop voicings kind of sound bad for comping a lot of the time as well... Especially drop 2s

I wouldn't say that non-shell voicings in Ed Bickert's comping are "occasional" (see the transcription above for example). It seems like what you are referring to as shell voicings is the thought...
yeah, just like guitar ;) otoh there are gazillion of chess books (and unlike guitarbooks many are actually useful), there are nice chess sets, online courses, premium memberships, chessbase...
Not going to watch the video right now but literally every chord in the first twelve measures (or the thumbnail) is a shell. Low note and a third or seventh. Third or seventh and a color note. ...
Shell or “rootless shell” is a pretty normal way of talking about these voicings. There is overlap with drop two voicings when you get up to four voicings but the sound of someone comping with...
It sounds like it's a terminology issue. So the very basic rootless C9 voicing x 8 7 8 7 x is also a shell voicing? To me that's a drop2, Shell voicing has a particular meaning in the way...
