OK. I've been practicing rootless voicings, because that's what's emphasized in the book i'm using -- Jazz Piano by Mark Levine, and also because I've fallen in love with the upper structures voicings in upper registers (dunno if 'upper structure' is a term used outside my book--for example, a Falt chord is played from bottom to top: E-flat, A, D-flat, F, A-flat, or a F7-raised 4th can be played A, E-flat, G, B, D). I do practice a few ez songs in multiple keys (autumn leaves, my romance, misty, blame it on my youth, paper moon)--I know I should probably do more.
I have bill-evans style 4-note left hand voicings down pat for pretty much all flavors. I'll try your way with the roots through. (My lazy style of playing is hitting root and a 5th or a 7th with the left hand, and filling in the rest with the right.)
PS. I have a few fake books, all by Sher--the Jazz Standards fake book, and the Real Fake Books vol. 1-3.
