In Banach space operators with a bounded H∞ functional calculus, Cowling et al. provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for a type-ω operator to have a bounded H∞ functional calculus. We provide an alternate development of some of their ideas using a modified Cauchy kernel which is L1 with respect to the measure ]dz]/]z]. The method is direct and has the advantage that no transforms of the functions are necessary.
