“On October 11, 1939, Coleman recorded a two-chorus performance of the standard 'Body and Soul.' In a landmark recording of the swing era, captured as an afterthought at the session, Hawkins ignores almost all of the melody, with only the first four bars stated in a recognizable fashion. Hawkins's departure from the melodic themes of the tune, use of upper chord intervals, and implied passing chords in that recording have been described as 'one of the early tremors of bebop.'”
