Afro-Harping by Dorothy Ashby 1968A reviewer of Dusty Groove mentioned “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” -- source link
