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 are two of Ashby's best albums, Hip Harp (Prestige

LP7140) and In a Minor Groove (New Jazz LP8209), both presenting her in a

quartet format backed by Frank Wess on flute, Herman Wright on bass, and Art

Taylor or Roy Haynes on drums.
