DOROTHY ASHBY The Fantastic Jazz Harp Of Dorothy Ashby (One-off
Test Pressing for the 1965 UK 10-track MONO LP - absolutely
sublime meditations & beats with closely mic'ed string harp work from
Dorothy to the fore, with backing from bassist Richard Davis,
drummer Grady Tate, percussionist Willie Bobo, & a sporadic horn
section - pure magic! Dorothy would later go one better in her career,
belting out funky rare groove favourites like 'Soul Vibrations' & 'The
Moving Finger'. The custom studio labels have 'Factory Sample'
printed at the top & are annotated with the artist, title, matrix &
catalogue detail, complete with the front laminated flipback picture
sleeve. The sleeve grades VG+ with just a little light corner creasing
from ring wear & no writing or tears, & is a nice off white. The vinyl is
Excellent with merely the lightest evidence of play. Who knows if any
more of these were even made! ATL5047)
