Argonne Thornton in Rum-Boogie Club, Chicago Loop - 20th Century
from Jazz Anecdotes, page 299:
One night Jimmy Dorsey was playing at the Sherman Hotel in the Loop, and he came down to hear Bird. Bird’s bandleader knew what was happening. He called “Cherokee,” which featured Bird. Bird, of course, played like a man possessed.
