Blues in B flat -- this is the style I learned in the 50s - still good today.

@jamesmykal a shell voicing is simply the 1 and 7 of any chord. The root and seventh. Any chord, voicing, inversion...etc can be used to comp. This is one of the simpler voicings.

does anybody if a shell voicing is another term for comp chord?

excellent work!

Actually, a tritone is an interval of 6 half steps; shell voicings are R3 and R7 which can be 3 or 4 half steps for 3rds, and 10 or 11 half steps for 7ths (with an occasional dim7 at 9 half steps). You are probably thinking about the distance between the 3rd and 7th of a dominant 7th chord, indeed an interval of a tritone.

Sifu, are these not also called Bud Powell voicings because of the R3 and R7/b7 tones? Unlike tri-tones, these shells have a Root (R) and third (3rd) or seventh (7th), but is it adviseable to have back to back shells of the same quality and/or color tone? Are they not supposed to be alternated? Thanks for your time!
