Dorothy Ashby - Plays for Beautiful People

Considered the most accomplished modern jazz harpist, Dorothy Ashby (1932-1986) established the harp as an improvising jazz instrument, beyond earlier use as a novelty or background orchestral instrument. She proved the harp could play bebop as adeptly as the instruments commonly associated with jazz. Presented here is one of her best albums, Dorothy Ashby Plays for Beautiful People (Prestige PR7639 – also issued as In a Minor Groove), presenting her in a quartet format backed by Frank Wess on flute, Herman Wright on bass, and Roy Haynes on drums.
