Speakeasy And Tin Pan Alley Tunes For Chromatic Dulcimer

Speakeasy And Tin Pan Alley Tunes For Chromatic Dulcimer brings sixteen songs from the early 1900s to the chromatic dulcimer, arranged as solos by Dana Gruber.

Ragtime, jazz and blues dance music defined those years, bringing improvisation and syncopation into popular music, while songwriters like Irving Berlin, Gus Kahn, Billy Rose and George and Ira Gershwin turned out hits. The arrangements are challenging but not overly difficult.

Everything is in DAD tuning, with no capo needed.
