Description
NUMBERED LIMITED EDITION OF 500 COPIES. Audiophile Clear Vinyl is made using the highest quality co-polymer available and processed without any carbon additive in order to dramatically reduce the “electrical distortion” often found on records. 140gr.
Dorothy Ashby may not be the first jazz harpist (Caspar Reardon) or the first female jazz harpist (Adele Girard) but her good feeling for time and ability to construct melodic guitar-like lines mark her as the most accomplished modern jazz harpist (...) Accompanying her was another Detroit girl Terry Pollard. Terry’s main instrument is the piano and she is one of the best in the country bar none. She is also a pretty fair country vibraharpist and in this set Miss Pollard plays vibes exclusively. With them is still another Detroiter Herman Wright who like Miss Pollard has worked with Terry Gibbs and Yusef Lateef and who also served as Miss Ashby’s regular bassist(...) Completing the quartet is Jimmy Cobb drummer for the Miles Davis group. During the proceedings Cobb travels between brushes and sticks without upsetting the equilibrium of this essentially quiet set.
