"Stablemates" is a 36-bar number in ABA form, with each A section lasting 14 bars; it contains several ii-V-I progressions. "The Very Thought of You" and "By Myself" are played by Farmer with a cup mute . "And Now..." is an up-tempo composition by Farmer over the chord changes from 'I Got Rhythm '. The ballad "Too Late Now" has a brassier trumpet performance from Farmer, as opposed to his breathier playing on the other tracks. "Earth" is a blues, played in a simple, swinging style.[ 5]
