But in reality when this happens in an ensemble we typically do get all the notes in there. I'd be more interested in rational for the omission of notes completely from the score. In classical harmony theory the 5th is often omitted completely from 7th chords. | |

Updated to address 'guide tones'

| Aug 3, 2020 at 14:05 | comment | added | Aaron | @Tim, I've never heard 'core tones' either, but the concept described is standard fare. After a quick search (for NickB's "shell voicing") I'm reminded of "guide tones", which is the term I've heard used. Will update answer to reflect. | |
| Aug 3, 2020 at 14:02 | comment | added | Aaron | @NickB: yes, that's my experience. As i understand it, shell voicings generally include the root, so this would be a "rootless" shell voicing, with the bass player (perhaps) providing the root. | |

| Aug 3, 2020 at 10:47 | comment | added | Tim | I'm at a loss. Play a fair bit of jazz, have for years, but never come across 'core tones'. Can't even find it on Google. Help! | |
| Aug 3, 2020 at 9:30 | comment | added | NickB | So generally speaking if we assume that there will be a bassist present we can use the idea almost like a pianists shell voicing. The core tones in this case being the harmonic 'meat' in the overall arrangement can be payed alone as accompaniment? Adding extensions above or below, to our purpose...? | |
