• More famous saxophonists playing together than you’ve ever heard before - this disc reissues the 1959 LP “Saxes Inc.” featuring Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims, Al Cohn, Hal McKusick, Gene Quill, Herb Geller, and Georgie Auld, with Dick Katz (piano), George Duvivier (bass) & Osie Johnson (drums) – with arrangements by Bob Prince.

• This session, which appeared on CD for the first time when issued on Lonehill Jazz in 2006, is now reissued on the new Phoenix imprint.

• This was not the only single instrument, multi-player experiment from those years : it even had companion volume - “Trombones Inc.” (still available on Lonehill Jazz - LHJ10266), and as a bonus on this disc Phoenix have added another trombone album with a very similar approach called “The Trombone Scene” featuring Eddie Bert, Jimmy Cleveland, Urbie Green & Jimmy Knepper with pianist-arranger Elliot Lawrence, Buddy Jones (bass) and Sol Gubin (drums). Total Time: 70:13
