Nimble uptempo pluckwork. It’s Dorothy Ashby on the harp in this vintage recording from 1958, playing our highlighted track “Jollity.” Tranquil enough for grandma, smooth enough for your jazz-loving uncle, and all the retro appeal that young atemporal generations might desire. The flute on top of the strings is the added bonus, making for a shared spotlight between two instruments that don’t get enough foregrounding in contemporary jazz outfits. Unless Andre 3000 is in the mix. Via Craft Recordings.
