This is the audio to go along with a section of the Musical Act analysis I have performed on "The Little Blue Frog", by Miles Davis, on the Columbia re-issue of "Big Fun".
Note: the files are linked from the times at the start of the rows.
| 2:00 - 2:13 | Trumpet | INFORM | A spiky, stabbing phrase, based on scale 2 |
| Clarinet | CONFIRM | briefly seems to agree with the trumpet. | |
| 2:13 - 2:29 | Bass clarinet | CONFIRM | Confirms scale 3 |
| Trumpet | DISCONFIRM | Ignores bass clarinet, and continues with stabs | |
| Clarinet | DISCONFIRM | Ignores bass clarinet, and continues with lyricism in scale 2 | |
| 2:29 - 2:43 | Trumpet Clarinet Bass Clarinet | ARGUE | All play lyrically, with clarinet on scale 2, trumpet on 1 and Bass Clarinet on 3 |
| 2:43 - 3:08 | Trumpet | PROPOSE | proposes a resolution, by playing stabs which fit with any of the scales |
| 3:03 - 3:08 | E-Piano | CONFIRM | supports the trumpet’s resolution |
