Dorothy Ashby - Afro Harping

The jazz-funk metamorphosis of harpist Dorothy Ashby completed on her 1968 album released on Chess records subsidiary Cadet. The cycle was literally completed when the album – recorded on February of the same year in Chicago – hit the stores. With arrangements by Richard Evans and a killer (unknown) line-up the record is full of samples galore, from ''Soul Vibrations'' and ''Come Live With Me'', plus a version of ''Little Sunflower'' by Freddie Hubbard.
