The Sheik of Araby

This past Saturday was Record Store Day or as they called it here in London, Ye Olde Record Shoppe Day. No they didn’t.

Unfortunately, I didn’t make it into any record stores but to show my support I did manage to obtain a couple of fine recordings via the interwebs. The first to arrive was The Art of Django. The sample above is ’ The Sheik of Araby’. The magnificent Stephane Grappelly on violin.

For any poor soul not familiar with Django Reinhardt, I offer this simple guide:

- Born 1910

- King of ‘Gypsy Swing’.

- At 18 was badly injured in a fire receiving first and second degree burns over half of his body.

- His third and forth fingers were left paralyzed on his left hand - keep that in mind when you hear him play.
