Each 251 has it's key signature. From that you should be able to figure out the chords. Remember they are all 251s.

Right in the chords. Study each note and voicing. Understand and write about what is happening with each chord, each progression etc.

Is the voicing rootless? What upper partials are there.

Finally put each one through all the keys. Watch how much you learn about 251s.

After two years of retirement, Terry Gibbs performed with a new version of his Dream Band in May, 2016 and shows that he hasn't lost a step despite being 91 years old at the time. He swings through a Steve Allen composition, "Playing the Field", followed by a favorite, "What's New", where his solo is a master class in playing a ballad.

For those interested, Anthony Smith's excellent book, Masters of the Vibes, devotes an important chapter to Terry, who recounts the many trials and tribulations of a jazz master through many decades of playing.
