Rather bog-standard oud playing, I thought. :D

"armitage shanks" does not lend itself to musical puns. i've found.

From CDbaby:
This is Scott Wilson's first Belly Dance Jazz CD. it is a tribute to his oud teacher, the famous Charles "Chick" Ganimian, who performed many of these songs in the 1950's.
Inventor of the "Baglama Hydra", a triple neck oud, saz, and bouzoukie, Scott Wilson has devoted his life to the performance of MId-East music.
This album is a collection of his favorites from Turkey, Egypt, Greece, Armenia, and Israel, sung with English lyrics!

Scott and his Group can be heard every Sunday night at "Cafe Figaro" in NYC's, West Village.

Sounded like he was straining to make himself heard.
