The concert closes with a loose, communal blues at 112 BPM featuring guest trumpeters Benny Benack III and James Sarno alongside the regular quartet. Sean Jones's original twelve-bar blues gets four solo statements — Benack takes three choruses on trumpet, Sarno follows with three and a quarter choruses on trumpet, drummer Kyle Poole delivers three choruses of vocal improvisation, and Cohen closes with four on piano. The vocal solo from Poole adds an unexpected element of showmanship to the finale. The relaxed tempo and simple blues form give the guests room to contribute without the pressure of navigating complex harmony, and the parade of soloists creates a jam session atmosphere befitting a closing number. Jones composed the tune with the kind of title that signals the blues tradition's mix of humor and directness. Ending with an open blues after a program that ranged from Irish folk melodies to Giant Steps changes brings the evening back to jazz's most elemental form.
