My wife passed away a few days ago. She liked Klezmer and traditional New Orleans music. She would have loved this. I find this very consoling.
I’m so glad.
sorry for your loss
im so sorry for your loss.only thing wrong with this version is it's not long enough.
Everytime you listen to any music with thoughts of your past lover in your heart, a piece of her soul is listening with you my friend, I hope she found peace.
Sorry for your troubles. Glad this song gave you some comfort. Amazing music here!
Wow! Yo-Yo Ma and Rhiannon Giddens on the same gig. What a pleasure.
How did I not know of this? Amazing! A Blues, plus some Klezmer, plus some of the best clarinet I have ever heard, and Rhiannon! What a joy. Thank you Yo-Yo for having fun getting outside your audience's comfort zone.
I have come to understand why this lady has been unknown to me until recently. Rhiannon doesn't do top ten, this is so much better. She has an amazing range, fantastic musical sense and absolute vocal control. Bravo.
Yo-Yo Ma and Cab Calloway is an excellent combination. Thanks for posting!
Right, I thought she was channeling Cab quite a lot!
This is how real musicians play and sing. Fresh!
Rhiannon Giddens is incredible! Wowsa!
Fantastic version of this song. This girls voice makes my toes curl up.
This is a rhythmic feat that has some tango, a little folklore from the Andean highlands and a singer performing jazz, giving nuances to one of the best Central European songs of recent years.
It would have been fabulous to hear Yo-Yo Ma, his cello, the orchestra and the singer doing the blues. That didn't happen.
Genius may also have limits.
Awesome musicianship all round. It's so rare to come across anything like this, especially these days. I think I may even have enjoyed it as much as they did!
Please don't.
Thought I'd heard every version of this wonderful song, seems I was wrong. Bravo. Beautifully done.
More than one of my family passed away in NOLA so I have a spiritual connection to this song. Rhiannon does a great rendition of this old song. She is exceptional artist.God bless her.
55 pluse years ago i played this song on a old organ and loved the song she sang it in the speed and style i thought the song should be love her voice
When you are YO YO MA any instrument (Including accordian) belongs in his arrangement. What a soulful sultry rendition, voice, instrument swing. Love it
Oh my goodness, you’ve somehow managed to get the feel of the song so spot on to how I imagine it, and in such different instrumentation as well. I commend you, and wish to someday be as fluent in musicality.
Awesome cello intro!...Everytime I hear and see Riha I think I'm dead living in heaven among angels...
Words escape me......except beautiful beyond description.
Sometimes I'll go a couple of weeks without listening to Rhiannon but all I need to do is cue up this version of this song and it's all good.
This is less blues and more jazz.
That was so good, that it may take me a long time to recover. Wow!
I'm so glad YoYo continues to stretch - not that it's a reach for him if ya know what I mean - and don't get me started on Rhiannon Giddens because she could tackle Ba Ba Black Sheep and I'd buy it... Super clip - thanks to all.
Yo Yo is such a great musician and a cool guy. He loves Led Zeppelin too!!😊 I loved it when I found that out...
I didn't know I was looking for this. Thanks.
Opinions of course. Rihanna, Yo Yo and the whole crew and arranger really hit a sensational note with me. Wild how it moved through cultural musical styles, but always soulful. For me it's a Masterwork!
This made me so happy tonight. Giddens is so great! And the Silk Road imagination doing what it does best -- exhibiting universal fellowship, and dancing outside the box. Thank you!
Jazz has always been about invention. This is Jazz.
Amazing performance by everyone. Can't believe Yo-Yo Ma got to meet Rhiannon Giddens!
숨막히도록 아름답고 감동적…breathless, and beautiful!!!
beautiful!
Simply incredible!
wow wtf ive never heard a delayed timing like that, that was still technically ON TIME.
Beautiful.
A fantastic performance. Wow .........
Rhiannon, this is soo coool. So happy you made this great video.
That is freaking great!
Beautiful Chaos dancing around the edge of Heart
LOVE it!
This is the new definitive version of this song.
She also does a version with Tom Jones, and another one for TED! All are great!!!
Beautiful thank you.
simply great music!
stunned!!! beautifully done!!!
Good God this is Gold
Wow wow and wow. A masterpiece
Rhiannon Giddens and Yoyo Ma. Yes, please!
Great great !!
This song and Argentine folklore is the best I could hear
Reminds me of Charles Mingus' work or a John Handy group from the 60's. Great stuff.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing!
The history of this song fascinates me. There are so many different versions of the song with a lot of variations in the lyrics. Its origins aren't really known, but there are some who argue that it's derived from an 18th century Irish folk song called "The Unfortunate Rake" or "The Unfortunate Lad." The widely covered country song "Streets of Laredo" is also said to be derived from that Irish folk song. In "The Unfortunate Rake," the narrator comes across a friend of his who is clearly dying. As the friend laments his demise, he reveals that he is dying of a disease - likely syphilis - that he caught from a woman who had many lovers. He then proceeds to tell the narrator his funeral wishes. The lyrics to the song "Streets of Laredo" are quite similar to the lyrics of "The Unfortunate Rake," but the lyrics to "St. James Infirmary Blues" are quite different. Only some versions of the song contain lyrics that are similar to lyrics found in "The Unfortunate Rake," with the similarities being around the description of the funeral procession. The nature of the story in "St. James Infirmary Blues," however, is where one could argue it's ties to the old Irish folk song. In every version of "St. James Infirmary Blues" that I know, the song begins with the narrator describing his trip to the Infirmary, where he saw the woman he loves either dying or already dead from some undisclosed cause. The narrator then laments her fate and in most versions of the song makes reference to the fact that she could never find another man like him. It's not stated whether she ever tried to find another man, but it is possible that she did try to find someone better and was unsuccessful in her search. So far, the song doesn't explicitly say anything to the suggest it, but if "St. James Infirmary Blues" is in fact derived from "The Unfortunate Rake," then it's possible that the woman in the Infirmary also had many lovers and died of a sexually transmitted disease like syphilis. If that's the case, then it might help explain why in the next part of "St. James Infirmary Blues" the narrator states his burial wishes (Note: not every version of the song includes the bit that takes place at the bar). If the woman he loved died of a sexually transmitted disease, then it's likely the narrator has the disease, too.
Such a subtle tempo!
so difficult to know when to start singing!! or to stop! so skillfull
great glorious music and singing
Hello Carol, I hope you are doing well? It’s really nice meeting you here.
Wow!

Thanks. I was wondering what that was.
Apaixonado por sua voz
love this
very nice
Фантастика супер. SUPER
Saint James Infirmary. Klezed. Who'd a thunk it. But it was so fine...
Absolument éblouissant, j'en ai la chair de poule !
Maravilha
Há três dias a procura
Voz lindíssima
So good :O
exelent
Marvellous. Martin Schmidt-Hahn with his warm clarinet sound would fit as well
Thrilled! Just come across this (2016!). After all these years … so looking forward to listening to this!
Hello Pamela, I hope you are doing well? It’s really nice meeting you here.
Wow! Great stuff.
Hello Marie, I hope you are doing well? It’s really nice meeting you here.
The best version
Я влюблен в эту девушку и ее голос!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cab Calloway is still my favourite but I do love this version.
is it normal that i'm in love with this woman now?
That guy makes me want to play the clarinet again, first instrument I learned.
This sounds at some moments like Bosnian folk music - sevdah. It's a perfect collision
Fantastic!
Hello Lynn, I hope you are doing well? It’s really nice meeting you here.

harika😍😍😍😍😍
wow
I like it how the Tik is a bit longer, and the Tok - a bit shorter!
Very, very interesting performance!
... I was rather short for words the first I heard it ...
But the plays with different tempos and all these brilliant musicians showing their best creates something unique!
It's has a very different sound and mood, but I feel in its soul it's pure jazz :)
muy linda esta version klezmer
What kind of flute adapter is that??? omg amazing!!
Bravo bravo
Hello Barbara, I hope you are doing well? It’s really nice meeting you here.
At some point I could have sworn it's romanian folk music
You mean at 3:47, ain't you
The way the composer describes it in the CD book, he basically took the traditional blues arrangement, handed it some Roma musicians he knew and said "Here play this."
you mean Bulgarian.
no gypsies in this vid tho
@kurzackd Get lost, she meant that this has romanian "lăutărească" or "taraf" rythm. Search for Romica Puceanu or Taraf de Haydouks. At some points this song turns into a "doina".
Amazing. Just amazing,
Aw, c'mon. You may be Yo Yo Ma, but not the real one. Why would he talk to me? I wish, his music is amazing I have been fortunate to know intelligent, creative and talented people, but some people are once in a lifetime. It would be dancing at a club and having Barishnikov cut in.
Well, you have an ardent fan in Jackson, NJ.
A fan? Years. A live concert? Never. It's a bucket list item, but somehow things were never right at the time. At almost 74 I had better work on it or I will be listening from below.
Thank you for being an amazing fan and I would like to talk more better,the first digit is 162 then followed by 827 then 793 and lastly 82
Really excited to be meeting an amazing fan. I would like to talk more better, first digit is 162 then followed by 82 then 77 and then 93 and lastly 82.
