Sean Jones's own composition features a compact 8-bar form played as a waltz at 99 BPM, creating the set's most intimate small-group moment. Only Cohen and Hall solo — the pianist takes four choruses and the bassist stretches to five, making this Hall's most extended solo of the concert. Jones sits out the solo section entirely, letting his rhythm section colleagues interpret his composition. The roughly nine-minute performance has a contemplative quality, with the short form cycling quickly and the waltz feel maintaining the three-four groove that appeared earlier on Jitterbug Waltz. The tune's simple structure belies its effectiveness as a vehicle for bass improvisation, with Hall's five-chorus statement serving as the performance's centerpiece. Positioned between the bebop intensity of Hot House and the blazing uptempo Prof that follows, this quiet waltz provides essential breathing room in the program.
