[...] Coleman Hawkins came to Kansas City with Fletcher Henderson and Herschel [Evans], Lester [Young], and Ben Webster played for him.

That night, Herschel played all over the horn--played it the way it is supposed to be played because Hawk was his idol. You couldn't say anything bad about Hawkins to Herschel. […] Lester, you know, has always been an unlimited soloist, and he was still playing at the session when everybody else was finished.

And then, too, there was something about tone. Hawkins had a full tone and Herschel's was full, too. But Lester's tone was different. It was lighter. Some people would tell Lester that he didn't have a good tone, that he should change his tone. And that would cause friction.
