There have been very few jazz harpists in history and Dorothy Ashby was one of the true greats, perhaps the greatest; certainly the one with the most direct feel for true jazz. On this debut recording, with Frank Wess, Wendell Marshal, Eddie Jones and Ed Thigpen, she stretches out on 3 standards and 5 of her own compositions.

She was able to play genuine, probing bebop on her instrument. She studied piano at Wayne State University, and in 1952 she switched to the harp. Within two years, Ashby was gigging in jazz, and in 1956 she made this, her first recording as a leader. Between 1956-1970, she led ten albums for such labels as Savoy, Prestige, New Jazz, Argo, Jazzland, Atlantic, and Cadet, guested on many records, and was firmly established as a top studio and session player. She moved to the West Coast in the 1970s and was active up until her death.

NOTE: Sound is mp3 quality only. Actual LP sound is much better.

Vinyl kept inside an anti-static lined inner sleeve.

Please see my other auctions for more
Collectible JAZZ LPs.

All records packed with vinyl (inside inner sleeve) behind cover - and shipped in strong LP mailer boxes with bubble-wrap around all sides - sandwiched between stiff corrugated flats for best protection in the mail.

Please be aware that these important supplies add to my shipping costs - of which only a very small fraction is covered in the shipping charge.

My LP packing is considered to be among the very best on eBay. I would have it no other way.
