Note The chord changes in parentheses during Coltrane's solo are simply my best guess at what he may have been thinking. This is perhaps the earliest example of "Coltrane Changes," or the "major-third cycle."  (There are a few brief instances of Coltrane playing part of the major-third cycle about two weeks before this recording on the track "Three Little Words" from the album Bags & Trane, but I have found those examples a bit more elusive. This "Limehouse Blues" solo, on the other hand, has several very clear examples of the full major-third cycle, such as the very opening of Coltrane's solo that substitutes G7 with the chords:

| Dmin7   Eb7   |  Abmaj7   B7   |  Emaj7   G7   |

which sounds very similar to the opening of Coltrane's own composition, "Countdown.”)
