I thought I recognised your name from somewhere - I used to have an easy jazz pieces book of yours, but I couldn't find it this morning, I haven't played it for a few years as I've progressed quite a bit since then, but it was very useful as I was learning!
olihayhurst Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 Ah, that's great! Glad you liked the book!
