Late Night Blues is an original piece written in a standard 12-bar blues style. The bass section gets a chance to shine as the rhythm section playing a foundation that has been compared to ZZ Top's "La Grange."

The ending is very jazzy, with chords held while some of the bells play pseudo-improvisatory solo lines. Since jazz pieces are still seldom heard in handbell repertoire, Late Night Blues is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
