Jones begins playing a drum, as in an African village. Ellington follows him with an easy-to-remember melody, and although on the bridge he goes on more adventurous courses, he returns to the familiar theme. Coltrane enters playing the same song, which has a certain trait of humor. He increases the good atmosphere for greater enjoyment of the listener. Coltrane starts his solo with variants of the theme, inviting us to join them. He proposes: “Come to the banquet with us” with his way of speaking to which you cannot deny. And he insists again and again until he convinces us. They return to the original melody convinced that we will have a good time with a gradual decrease in the volume of the sound.
