Dorothy Ashby - Afro-Harping - Audio Clarity Reissue - New & Sealed - Ships Fast - Jazz Classic!!!
Afro-Harping is an album by jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby recorded in 1968 and first released on the Cadet label. Ron Wynn, in his review for Allmusic, calls the album "the best and most complete album done by jazz harpist (a rare style) Dorothy Ashby... She turned the harp into a lead instrument, and offered solos that were as tough and memorable as those done by any reed, brass, or percussion player."
Another reviewer wrote "One of the grooviest records ever – a sublime blend of African percussion, soulful orchestrations, and Dorothy Ashby's amazing electric harp! By the time of this landmark album, Dorothy had been knocking around the jazz world for a number of years, but it wasn't until she hooked up with Richard Evans at Cadet Records that her sound really began to cook – breaking down genres and expectations in the trademark style of the best late 60s sides from the Chicago underground. The record's got a bit of funk, a bit of jazz, and a heck of a lot of soul – and the setting works perfectly for Dorothy's harp, giving it a lot more room to work around than some of her smaller jazz combo albums".
This recording has become legendary, and highly sought after by jazz fans.  New and sealed pressings of this album don't show up often, so don't miss out!
