In a chat with Marty Grosz after one of his concerts, Marty told
me that Starduest (which used to be played much faster than it
currently is) was based on some (practice?) licks played by
Bix Beiderbecke.  
My memory of the exact details of the above are dim, but to me 
the interesting parts are
1. Bix's influence
2. The tempo
