Leon Brown “Chu” Berry (September 13, 1908 – October 30, 1941 Wheeling, WV) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist during the 1930s. He is perhaps best known for his time as a member of singer Cab Calloway‘s big band.

According to music critic Gary Giddins, musicians called him “Chu” either because he chewed on the mouthpiece of his saxophone or because he had a Fu Manchu mustache. Berry died at 33 on October 30, 1941, in Conneaut, Ohio, after being in a car accident.
