DOROTHY ASHBY - The Jazz Harpist DOROTHY ASHBY

LP - Limited Clear Vinyl

This is Dorothy Ashby's debut album, originally released in 1957. Recognized as the woman who gave the harp a Jazz Voice, here Ashby is at the head of a highly distinctive combo featuring Frank Wess on flute, Eddie Jones & Wendell Marshall on bass and master Ed Thigpen on drums. The Jazz Harpist is an unprecedented mix of evocative classic sounds and jazz soul, awarded by Allmusic as her first and best album, period!
