[@lolttyl143]

Her voice has that perfect airy tone for this style of gritty jazz.

[@michelllx]

Way too clean tho, doesn't sound gritty to me

[@grenadeserenade8576]

This series is like Bang Bus for excellent music.

[@edhickey6336]

Omg rotfl

[@sphrotjhoy]

i'll never get this woman's voice out of my head

[@jasonmdasilva]

Damn, she's gorgeous.

[@pokemowns]

i love her range and her the quality of her voice

[@ABEAST187]

Omg. Her singing style makes her even more gorgeous! O.O

[@alexandererasmus8970]

[@jayaprakashsatyamurthy86]

I miss the emotion.

[@RIGILKENTARUS1]

Damn, im in love... with their music... And with her.

[@juanmonge8]

There is a wonderful version of this by Jonah Jones on the Fred Astaire television special (1958). Fred dances to it with Barrie Chase.

[@jeffbeso7922]

Dammnn, her style is amazing!

[@brittanyniemi7723]

Loveee Cab Calloway this is a neat take on the song

[@ohnomrwalnut9173]

She can make you feel the music! Girl, you keep working on it! Beautiful voice.

[@cayminlast]

Garage band in a van, awesome, very refreshing!

[@christianclark7230]

im guessing you like the hugh laurie version too😂

[@androidgamer2771]

So peaceful, so beautiful

[@mrvlhs]

I've seen so many versions and besides Hugh Laurie's it was hard to find one I liked. Got to compliment you. Good job, great vocals!

[@VioletGiraffe]

Agreed on both points. Check out Chris Jones - one of his two live concert CDs with Steve Baker features this song. Doubtless you will enjoy more than a few pieces from those CDs.

[@kurzackd]

check out the Silk Road Ensemble version - watch?v=O8EMo-_6ynI

[@thagoff]

check out the Devil makes three version of the song

[@DaveLundy]

Agreed - Hugh Laurie's version is the best I've heard, but I do like this lady's voice.

[@only126db]

Excellent in every way. Wonderful job guys on one of my favorite songs.

[@winitall57]

just breathtaking..

[@charlesbeach3167]

Very well done Sasha

[@ugli88]

A nice mashup. true to the spirit of the 16th century original.

[@hapax87]

+Jeremy Martin Actually, the American version of this song didn't appear until the 1920s. A related British folk tune appears to have originated in the 18th century. So... there you are....

[@Lordbaccus]

Oh Hell Yesss

[@Fredisson666]

very very good. wonderful voice, very chill and awesome solo.

[@djcrook6641]

she's got a great voice. my favorite version is by the devil makes three. that one is unbelievable.

[@NicDanger]

Very beautiful! and unique!

[@dingledan1966]

Man, that guitar solo fit the tune so well! While no one complains about great backing vocals, I thought it fit the mood pretty well.

[@christian_clark]

Brandon Crosby the solo was incredibly shit

[@gailwest8178]

Omg one of my favorite songs of all time. And Sasha sings with the most emotion I've ever seen. I ve watched almost every version of it. Sasha blew me away. Thank you mam and u guys too!!

[@AbhishekJoshi]

I'm in love ❤️

[@krisztianj.ecsedi9322]

Love the girl voice and she's gorgeous, but the background vocal guys! OMG!!! I fell in love with the girl beauty and her voice, but had to stop the music as the guys vocal killed me! :))) HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@BadrSafadi]

sweet.

[@BrianGriffen71]

That's a very good version of that song. You should give the listeners more of that style and maybe get the success your talents deserves.

[@rascalitorosso776]

That's really good. You perform a great old Americana vibe but it's still sound fresh - nice one. Here in the UK I sometimes really ache for this kind of stuff, and you can get quite close but never quite your authenticity. I really like this an' if you ever get to the UK I'd love to put you on in my club (though we're probably a bit low rent for you - it's a night in my mate's pub). Thanks.

[@IvanTokis]

Excellent cover of a classic blues song (Y)

[@TheNollu]

banging guitar solo man

[@TheWall198907]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@brianwigfull9724]

Babe! What a voice!!!! & beautiful eyes!!!!

[@jesusdelbosque2235]

Qué bién agasajo, gracias...

[@mackdaddie222]

Great rendition, but adding the minnie the moocher heidi's, while not a terrible idea, didn't quite work. Love the way you turned this old song into a vamp, and the female vocals, just amazing. Your backup singers should back up, and never sing again, but massive props for going different. I would've like some more of the original verses.

[@jimmywhispers100]

Definitely agree with you on that one... AMAZING cover but the skat/crowd involvement from Minnie kinda threw it off between verses

[@matthenschen84]

Sounds great!! Love it!

[@zlmusicny]

Nice vibes Sasha!

[@DrLeroyGreen]

Like sunshine after rain

[@bluesideup007]

Very well done!

[@sillystrings]

Awesome!

[@HeidiLBaumoh]

loved it

[@highersociety5700]

well...the chords may be the same...but this "heidi heidi heidi hoe" part ist from minnie the moocher....not from st. james infirmary.

[@jeniferjoseph9200]

Bruno Mruzin feh don't matter still good bro

[@johnthecat2150]

+Bruno Mruzin They are the same song with a different tempo and words XD.

[@josephshahady8308]

+Bruno Mruzin Well its most famously used in Minnie the moocher but its used in many different songs to create a sorrowful call and response feel and I like how the response notes were off because it added to the sorrowful feel

[@jeniferjoseph9200]

JoJoTheMoBro WithAfro Good point

[@derfunkhaus]

Yes, it's almost as if the performer felt entitled to exercise some artistic license without even asking your permission first.

[@mowgli553]

I love hou Sasha

[@assmandew9975]

James West : Cab Calloway did not get the HI DEE HO from a Betty Boop cartoon, he performed The song for the cartoon with his orchestra. You even see his name in the credits and also you see him dancing at the beginning of the Betty Boop cartoon. Maybe, I read your comment wrong......

[@stevenhs8821]

Jazz came from the old cartoons. Don't you know that?

[@rcharters87]

love the pbr can behind the guitar player.

[@Dvssonance]

This song is so sad

[@2730dean]

❤️🙏🏽

[@BryanSongy]

The Preservation Hall Band does a good version (kinda upbeat), Louie Armstrong does my favorite somber version, but her voice and the guitarist's licks are spot on. This is an excellent version....Thanks for posting. Anyone know where to find similar guitar tabs for this...Too many out there looking for something with this tone and key.

[@JonathanHarrisAOD]

🎧❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@RaVenDaWn999]

Love these versions, this song, heard some old timers do it in Devereaux still jamz, (don't ask, don't tell) and got to admit nobody I heard yet can touch within a mile of Chris Thomas King's version, and the photos on his CD after all that happened, I would cry, yet too much the floods already, best to keep a long reach and get all we can to higher ground, drown a politician ooops. and put the budget back into making tall enough the sea walls that must hold back the swells so rough, the waves that batter for the city is only a shelter and a culture, -for people and they matter more than we seem to care, so save the prayers, petitions on-line, and some key we click says we attended the rally yet only in spirit. Forget all that and lets help each other out with resources and strong hands, caring ways, and open doors, lift up our own from the killing floor, song not so sad as is spirited, song not so tragic as that we have the magic we can give rise to the healing, and that is the meaning, "no grave can hold my body down." Still and all, with best intents, I'd like to keep us above the lawns, above the flood and yet never above the love that bonds us. Humanity. Please work with thee. Blessed be. Glory be. I fell off the hanging tree, and now I am here helping with ways of healing, working actively that so much better our world can be. Do what we can, at any level. This is a song about the celebration one feels that life had given the moments to thrive. It is not to mourn death, yet to honor life. Please be well, and shine on so brightly as your spirits calls us to do so... ...and we do.

[@RelaxRelapse720]

Cool cover.

[@vishbofpeace]

i came here after listening to pops, hugh laurie and janis......pretty good version. good crisp voice. i liked it.

[@Carleigh5297]

Nice!

[@bluesryder1]

This is great...bring it! What would you say the genre is for this music...something more definitive than just blues?

[@carolinalino2091]

excelente

[@CourtneyZyber]

her voice is so rich...

[@FitzgeraldStanburyWeissV]

No fuckin' idea how I managed to come across this, but through random, vigorous KZbin searching, I apparently managed it. And I wasn't disappointed!

[@henriquedavid6107]

Esse é uma vibe

[@Wagiblues]

i think it is a sad story in this Blues - should probably to be interpreted a bit more dramatically - but anyway this here is good.

[@ulisesmunozzamorano9983]

este tema me re gusta...

[@shikida]

wow

[@assmandew9975]

James west : the words are inspired by the unfortunate rake, but the actual arrangement of the song was created in new orleans, originally in the style of ``Dixieland``. Therefore, people are right to assume that this is a new orleans style song. If you don't believe me, do a search on ``the unfortunate rake``, it doesn't sound even remotely close to st james infirmary blues.

[@kingcake54]

To the world: these are our children....what you got?

[@kakohernandez]

Qué buen solo gtr. Nice Guitar Solo ;)

[@Duncanmatheson]

For reasons I don't quite understand, just being in a mellow jazz and blues mood I guess, I started surfing different versions of St. James Infirmary. Listened to Hugh Laurie's, which I always loved, but also discovered versions by Woody Guthrie and Van Morrison, and this one. Never heard of Sasha Masakowsski before (I am in New Brunswick in eastern Canada after all) but I really like her voice. On this song I find the emotion lacks, but the voice is great. Will try to find more examples of her - I can see her nailing something like Summertime.

[@thagoff]

try the Devil makes three version
