By Various. By Joe Primrose. Arranged by Dave Gingras and John E. Dosher. This edition: pdf. Big Band, Early Music, Film/TV, Jazz, Standards. Score. 2 pages. DAVID LEE GINGRAS #1328132. Published by DAVID LEE GINGRAS (A0.1767738)."St. James Infirmary" is an American jazz and blues standard with origins in the 19th-century folk song, "The Unfortunate Rake". The song was copyrighted in 1929 under the pseudonym "Joe Primrose" and popularized by Louis Armstrong, who made the first recording in 1928. Its lyrics describe a person seeing their deceased lover at an infirmary and lamenting the loss. This version features a root-based chord blocking that John and I have used in a number of our arrangements - we hope you like what we've done with this classic tune from 1900.
