    Third album I listen from Dorothy Ashby, third time I`m blown away by how good this woman is. We need more harp jazz in this world.

    Ms. Ashby just swings with such graceful force. Frank Weiss puts the crowning touch just floating on flute, and that rhythm section is anchored by the underated bassist Wendell Marshall. The just cook!
    Thanks for posting.

      They probably got the Hong Kong SWAT team to check it out and safely examine whether it was safe to approach. Because this album is the bomb!

    I too was a big Alice Coltrane fan....actually had some correspondence with her. She turned me into a giant harp enthusiast.....so much so that I came to realize She was really not an accomplished/ deft harpist --------as Dorothy is . Alice was incredibly creative in other ways , like introducing Asian instruments into the jazz world , and she pretty much coined the term "spiritual jazz". May they both rest in heavenly peace. Om Cassotta

    Ethereally recorded in 1956 by the master himself Rudy van Gelder for Prestige. Fantastic album of this amazing lady’s subtle swinging “American-songbook” tunes. Frank Wess’s flute floating, like pearl-droplets, above it all. Great nostalgic Jazz music of the highest swingingest calibre. Enjoy this gem & Cheers!

  • @HannahKayW
    @HannahKayW 7 лет назад +3

    I'm interested to know how many chords are in these songs. Like is it mostly modal with the occasional shift, or is she really changing the keys very frequently. If anyone knows I'm trying to learn to play the harp this way

      No, luck is never necessary, only passion and the dedication of time.

    • @zaxo212
      @zaxo212 7 лет назад +2

      Neverward - she's following the changes to the song, just look up the charts online and figure out how to voice the chords then learn the scales/modes that are associated with each chord and play through them while going through the changes. then try improvising using those scales and chords you just learned

    • @zaxo212
      @zaxo212 7 лет назад +2

      also of course learn the melody to the heads of whichever tunes you want to play, and if they have lyrics like Stella by starlight for example learn the lyrics as well. helps you keep you place in the changes if you can hum sing or think about the melody and lyrics while you play. nice little way to not loose your place

    • @HannahKayW
      @HannahKayW 7 лет назад +4

      Thanks for the thoughtful reply those are excellent practice habits :) my jazz professor says a lot of the same stuff. It also really helps to listen to the song a lot! I will do as you say ^^
