Piece 3- Hit the Road Jack

My third piece is going to change in style from classical to jazz. I will be playing the classic Hit the Road Jack by Ray Charles. This is a smooth jazz piece that is about a woman telling her man to go away hence the title 'Hit the Road Jack' 

This is the original piece of music performed by Ray Charles himself.

This piece is going to be a challenge to me due to its change in rhythms which means I have to look carefully at what I am playing more than some of the other pieces. Also the jazz acciacatura's also add to the difficulty in playing this song. 
So here is me playing my version of Hit the Road Jack taken from Spotlights clarinet book.
