The Knaphill Blues

The Knaphill Blues, takes inspiration from a work by Ben Crosland, called "Remember The Day" from his Jazz Beans! Book 1 and the resemblance is evident enough. However, in the case of the Knaphill Blues, things move a bit further with an augmented 4th change in the left hand, in the middle section, as well as held notes, which makes it a tiny bit confusing for beginners. Still great fun to play.
