Nate Dorward Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Pehraps you should rephrase that question minus the word "good". The question is whether there are any jazz dulcimer recordings. Someone, somewhere, has probably given it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Hawkins Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Corey Mwamba is a great young player in the UK playing mostly vibes and dulcimer. Check out his stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 The Hungarian tenor player Mihaly Dresch uses a cimbalom in his quintet. The quintet mixes jazz with folk elements but the cimbalom which is very similar to the dulcimer makes a very attractive sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford_thornton Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Cooper-Moore (then Gene Ashton) played the instrument as a sideman on saxophonist Alan Braufman's Valley of Search (India Navigation). Also in attendance were Cecil McBee, and drummers David Lee Jr. and Ralph Williams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 Probably deep in the mix, Henry Threadgill plays hackbrett (Austrian/German dulcimer) on Roscoe Mitchell's "The Maze". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie Mann's very last CD "Eastern European Roots" has cymbalom player Alexander Fedoriouk. But this is the hammered type: But wasn't the initial question for the plucked/strummed type, the real dulcimer? Looks like this: Colin Walcott used one of these on the original recording of "Witchi-Tai-To" on one of Oregon's earliest records, but it wasn't jazz ...

AllenLowe Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 (edited) well, there's a few Don Braden CDs I can think of, a lot of Wynton, too many Keith Jarrets to remember - wait - didn't you say DULL jazz recordings? never mind...

JohnS Posted July 18, 2007 Report Share Posted July 18, 2007 Didn't McCoy Tyner use a dulcimer as an intro on a track on one of his Milestone albums? Codona also featured a dulcimer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couw Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Didn't McCoy Tyner use a dulcimer as an intro on a track on one of his Milestone albums? "Mode for Dulcimer" on his album "Focal Point" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Yes, that Tyner track - I had that sound in my head but couldn't remember where I heard it. Since the dulcimer is basically a chordal instrument on a modal basis, it's jazz potential is very limited. You only can strum rhythmic patterns much like a rhythm guitar but not change keys as deliberately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
