They played a live recording of some tune based on the changes to Honeysuckle Rose by the Johnny Hodges Septet featuring John Coltrane. Hodges gave Trane a few choruses on it and Trane sounded like Trane. Future shock!

Hodges had to fire Trane because he was nodding off on the stand. I don't see this recording on Discogs, but there's a half hour thing on You Tube

YouTube recording quickly found. So interesting! Only a year before Trane was to be heard with Miles and you can hear the way he was going. The influence of Hodges on him is also evident, particularly in the second number.
