00:00 Introduction: Unison alto sax (Charlie Parker) and muted trumpet (Dizzy Gillespie); drums with brushes using many accents (Max Roach).
00:06 Muted trumpet solo, drums continue as before.
00:12 Alto sax solo, drums the same.
00:19 Alto sax and muted trumpet in parallel harmony, drums the same.
00:25 First chorus: Alto sax solo, drums on a fast 4/4 rhythm plus accents, bass playing a very fast walking style (Curley Russell), piano enters with his own chordal punctuations. If the piano seems a bit late, that is because that is also Gillespie; he had to put his trumpet down.

01:04 Last part of first chorus.
01:15 Second chorus: Parker still on alto sax.
01:40 Bridge of second chorus.
01:54 Last part of second chorus.
02:08 Drum solo: very intricate as fas as the pulse is concerned (this gives Gillespie time to go from piano to the trumpet).
02:31 Alto sax and muted trumpet in unison, drums now on cymbals.
02:37 Muted trumpet solo, drums the same.
02:44 Alto sax solo, drummer a bit lighter on cymbals now.
02:50 Alto sax and muted trumpet in parallel harmony (a reminder of the introduction for the sake of continuity).
02:55 End.
