Then Stitt returns for eight bars, giving way to Ammons who finishes the melody and kicks off his solo with a two-bar break. Stitt jumps back after Gene's chorus and takes two choruses, double-timing his way through half of the second one. The Boss Tenors have eight-bar exchanges before Sonny leads Gene through a call and response pattern on the long coda. A curious one-note melody, punctuated by Williams' witty bass, is stated by the Boss Tenors before Gene jumps into his two choruses. Sonny snaps off a pair of crackling choruses, then Houston and Williams take one each before everyone picks up and gets back to that funny, one-note theme.
Sonny states the first eight bars of the theme.
Ammons follows with the next eight. Sonny and Gene repeat this pattern, then Gene has a break and two choruses. Sonny and Gene alternate blowing on the final chorus, then take it out together.
