String Along with Dorothy!
Click the play button to listen
A music with as complicated and rich a history as jazz is always going to be subject to rediscoveries and reappraisals and we wouldn't want it any other way. This fortnight's episode focuses on a pioneering practitioner on that truly rare avis, the jazz harp. Yes, we're diving into the early work of Dorothy Ashby in honor of a new box set celebrating her first six albums. So throw aside those conceptions of cartoon animals going to heaven and bourgeoisie travelers grooving at the Holiday Inn and join us as we string along with Dorothy.Playlist
