A brilliant, sensual piece of music, and Williams does it justice.

Jazz, of course. Because it expresses the essence of the true dhamma. And who embodies it?
Louis, the master. The King of all that is real and good. At least here, in 1928, when Jazz ruled America, and there was a voice of purity rising above all. His trumpet playing on this recording borders on the miraculous.

Armstong is cool. I discovered "St James Infirmary"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMbRV5d7TeY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
from listening to Bob Dylan's "Blind Willie McTell", a song he left off Infidels...
http://www.bobdylan.com/us/songs/blind-willie-mctell" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
If you don't have that album you can listen to the track here if you're willing to sit through the adds:

And here's another outtake.

And here's Mick Taylor performing it (Taylor and Knofler played on the sessions).

Brilliant song.
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

And, if you listen to St James Infirmary, you can see where some of the imagery (not to mention the tune...) comes from...
Louis Armstron wrote:"I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there,
She's laid out on a cold white table,
So so cold, so white, so fair."
Bob Dylan wrote:I’m gazing out the window
Of the St. James Hotel
And I know no one can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
This is my favorite song that made it onto the Infidels Album: I and I.

My lord its been an age since I've listened to Infidels.
I'll have to put it on my wish list for santa.
