Coleman Hawkins - InchColeman Hawkins and Confreres (Verve Acoustic Sounds Series)Inch. Released in 1958 on Verve, Hawkins playing is particularly confident and eloquent throughout the set. His group of InchconfreresInch on the session is fortified by the Oscar Peterson Trio along with sit-in guests, including Hank Jones (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), and Roy Eldridge & Buck Clayton (trumpet) among others. The relaxed atmosphere of the session is particularly noticeable in the title, InchSunday,Inch in which Roy Eldridge comes into the limelight with a brilliant solo. Coleman Hawkins' voluminous, supple sound which had a great influence on the styles of so many horn players who followed is best heard after Roy's solo in InchHoney Flower.Inch Verve Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
