Bol Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 The Ashby recording has Frank Wess and Roy Haynes on it. How bad can it be? Quote
Kevin Bresnahan Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 I e-mailed Hiroshi and pulled Timmons' "Got To Get It". I thought it was just a trio date. It doesn't sound like something I'd like. Thanks for letting me know. Kevin Quote

jbs-tom Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Thanks for the pointer. 1000 yen is very cheap, especially in K2 jewel box. I'll get some of these for sure. Yes, great deal! Those titles in the VICJ-23*** series were running 2,300 yen when released back in the early 90's. I've been on a vocalist kick lately so I'm definitely in for that Bev Kelly 'In Person'....... ....Cracklin & Bley as well!! same with me at the moment - jazz and entertaining female vocalist - also very nice blossom dearie and helen carr. just ordered from hiroshi the beverley kenny sings for johnny smith Quote
felser Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 The Ashby recording has Frank Wess and Roy Haynes on it. How bad can it be? It's actually excellent. I own it on the twofer 'Hip Harp' US reissue (contains 'Hip Harp' and 'In a Minor Groove') and enjoy it quite a bit: Review of 'Hip Harp'/'In a Minor Groove' CD reissue by Scott Yanow in AMG: Dorothy Ashby, the top jazz harpist during the 1950s, '60s, and '70s, recorded just a few albums as a leader during her career. This CD reissue has the complete contents of her Prestige and New Jazz albums: Hip Harp and In a Minor Groove. In both cases, Ashby (who really could improvise) was joined by flutist Frank Wess, bassist Gene Wright, and either Art Taylor or Roy Haynes on drums. The bop-oriented program is naturally at a low volume, but Dorothy Ashby shows that she could swing hard too. Her definitive reissue. Quote
