About This Song

About "St. James Infirmary" by Allen Toussaint

A funeral march turned smoky meditation. Toussaint strips the old standard to its bones, letting piano chords toll like distant bells. Grief and grace share the same benchโ€”solemnity never far from a sly, knowing wink. The tension between reverence and release lingers.
