Dorothy Ashby "The Fantastic Jazz Harp Of Dorothy Ashby" LP

The recording session for this album took place in 1958 and featured Ashby as leader on harp, backed by bassist Richard Davis, drummer Grady Tate, percussionist Willie Bobo and a horn section consisting of Jimmy Cleveland, Quentin Jackson, Sonny Russo, and Tony Studd. The album pre-dates the spiritual jazz tradition of Alice Coltrane and Sanders but with a more R&B blues feel and it is a mandatory listen!
