Description:
The foremost jazz harpist in the world, Dorothy Ashby was always in demand by the royalty of jazz she played with Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Gerry Mulligan, Ramsey Lewis, and others. On this selection, her harp playing is front and center on four selections that showcase her extraordinary talent. Her set is paired with one by Junior Mance, the Chicago born pianist known for his bluesy style. On this outing, Mance's jazz playing shines as does the work of David "Fathead" Newman and other legendary sessionmen. |
