Jazz sax player who took >20 choruses in a solo

I have heard a legendary story of a sax player performing with a famous big band (I am thinking Count Basie or maybe Duke Ellington) back in the 40s or 50s. During a concert performance this sax player was particularly hot and instead of one chorus (the norm for a big band solo) he took chorus after chorus, up to something like 28.

I cannot remember the player, the band, or the song. Google is not helping. Sound familiar to anyone?

It was Paul Gonsalves in “Diminuendo and Crescendo in Blue,” with Duke Ellington at Newport, 1956.

27 choruses. Blow, man, blow.

I saw The Yellowjackets at an intimate venue in Pittsburgh decades ago. Toward the end of their set they each took a turn doing a long solo, then left the stage. The last man up there was the drummer, who played and played and played.

After the show was over, I was chatting with the venue’s owner and found out the drummer’s family was in the house!

That’s the one. Thank you!

There’s a similar story about Charlie Christian and Benny Goodman.
