Review by Ashley Fry

Dorothy Ashby's album "Dorothy's Harp" is a timeless masterpiece that showcases her virtuosity as a harpist and composer. Released in 1969, the album features 10 tracks that blend elements of jazz, soul, and funk, creating a unique sound that is both soothing and invigorating.

From the opening track "Soul Vibrations" to the closing number "Come Live With Me," Ashby's harp playing is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her improvisational skills are on full display as she weaves intricate melodies and harmonies around the other instruments, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both complex and accessible.

What sets "Dorothy's Harp" apart from other jazz albums of its time is the way Ashby incorporates elements of soul and funk into her compositions. Tracks like "Afro-Harping" and "Action Line" feature funky grooves and catchy hooks that are impossible to resist. Meanwhile, slower, more contemplative songs like "The Windmills of Your Mind" and "Myself When Young" showcase Ashby's ability to create beautiful, introspective music that is perfect for relaxing and unwinding.
