Ashby, Dorothy -& Frank Wess-

Hip Harp

Repress. Born in Detroit in 1932 Dorothy Ashby can be easily recognized as the woman who gave the harp a jazz voice. In her hands, the harp, an originally classical instrument which seemed to just scare people, became a highly versatile swinging voice able to drive a whole jazz rhythm section. Recorded in 1958 by master Rudy Van Gelder and originally released on the Prestige label, 'Hip Harp' is a perfect example of Ashby's artistry. At the head of a fine quartet featuring the great Frank Wess on flute, Herman Wright on bass and master Art Taylor on drums, Ashby creates a unique combination of deeply jazz elements expressed through a totally new sound.
