Dorothy Ashby - Hip Harp

Facts Considered the most accomplished modern jazz harpist, Dorothy Ashby (1932-1986) established the harp as an improvising jazz instrument, beyond earlier use as a novelty or background orchestral instrument. She proved the harp could play bebop as adeptly as the instruments commonly associated with jazz. Presented here is her second album, Hip Harp (Prestige LP7140), on which she is backed by Frank Wess on flute, Herman Wright on bass, and Art Taylor on drums.
