All instruments keep to their middle and lower registers.
Miles Davies uses mutes, ghost notes (notes that are hinted at rather than played) and rests in his solo to make it more mellow.
There are two main riffs.
The piece statrs with drums played with brushes, the bass playing Riff 1 and the piano playing a trill in 3rds. At bar 5 the alto and tenor saxophones join in with riff 2.
A breathy tone is used in the saxes.
The trumpet is played with a harmon mute for the head.
The piano plays a tremolo at the start, and then is comping (accompanying with chords and short melodic ideas)
