Been playing out in the garage, digging through stuff I found the Columbia reissue of the last of the Louis Armstrong Hot Five's, these sessions from 1928. There is a St. James Infirmary on this. No, not the famous AK Fest one Ray would play, that from 1937 I also have, only the second session I know of, or rather have a copy of. Not that I have researched it at all.
