So Cold So Sweet was produced in March 2020 when the lockdown started in NYC. It is the first of many tracks that became a lockdown album... exploring new sounds in complete isolation from the rest of the world. With no idea if we would ever even see each other again. 

So Cold So Sweet is based on an American jazz standard, 'St. James Infirmary Blues', which is of uncertain origin. It has many different versions. Loosely, it tells the tale of a soldier who has returned from war to find his lover in the infirmary - so cold, so sweet, and so pale... and then you have to iisten to know the rest of the story
