Shelly Manne - 2-3-4 - 180g Vinyl LP
Impluse! / Verve Acoustic Sounds Series
2026
Recorded on February 5 & 8, 1962, drummer Shelly Manne's 2-3-4 is one of her most celebrated sessions and a standout in the Impulse! Catalog, produced by Bob Thiele and featuring Manne with tenor legend Coleman Hawkins, pianists Eddie Costa & Hank Jones, and bassist George Duvivier.
The album blends swing tradition with modern improvisation, highlighting Hawkins in a late-career resurgence, Manne's subtle rhythmic guidance, and the ensemble's flexible interplay across duet, trio, and quartet settings. With extended readings of standards like "Take the A Train" and "Cherokee, " alongside "I'm Coming Virginia" and "Avalon, " the record showcases expressive tenor, sophisticated harmonies, and impeccable time, offering a relaxed yet richly textured session that remains a favorite among Impulse! #devotees and a key document of Hawkins' later prime.
Verve Acoustic Sounds Series highlights the most historic jazz records. Remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. Gatefold Sleeve
