Dorothy Ashby - Dorothy Ashby



Dorothy Ashby - Dorothy Ashby - Argo LP 690 - Argo Original Pressing, Tan Promotional Label, - 'Review Copy', Mono

Dorothy Ashby - Harp
Herman Wright - Bass
John Tooley - Drums

Recorded - August 8, 1961, Ter Mar Recording Studio, Chicago

Supervision - Max Cooperstein
Engineer - Ron Malo
Cover - Don Bronstein

Released - March 10, 1962

Here's my final contribution for now - a rare, exquisite and the only Argo side by the jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby! Ashby's collaborations with Richard Evans on Cadet in the late 1960s are quite popular these days , but I prefer her earlier more straight ahead efforts which are quite subtle and haunting. This side has appeared in blogland before, but this is a nice rip taken from my own personal copy, a recently acquired promotional vinyl in excellent condition.

    Dorothy Ashby, what a lady. Do you have any other early ones from her to look forward too.
