Dorothy Ashby Jazz Harpist

[Hi-Fi-Mogul]

and enjoyed listened to.

I'm not a huge jazz fan, but that was quite pleasant, thank you for sharing. I had no idea anyone called a jazz harpist existed. Very unique sound. The harp riff I remember most was in the theme song to "I Love Lucy".

She was from Detroit--Cass Tech, Wayne State--and I had never heard of her! Thank you for the info.
