...night down in New York with Coleman Hawkins, who has been living sadly on his sax ever since he returned from France last fall, he agreed completely with me. He then went on to play for me, in the style that I have always considered to be tops on tenor sax, a full hour of "Limehouse Blues," Improvising all the while around a little riff that I swiped from Chu Berry down at the Southland last week...

There was one lick in the record that I like especially, and when I next heard the band, I asked him to play me some "Limehouse" and especially that one phrase. So sitting in his dressing room, with one of the trombone men playing guitar, Mr. Berry played me twenty minutes of "Limehouse Blues" at a murderous tempo--all of it built around this one idea I had mentioned...
