Dorothy Ashby

Dorothy Ashby (1932–1986) was an American jazz harpist, singer, and composer. Hailing from the United States, she is considered one of the most "unfairly underrated great jazz artists of the 1950s." Ashby transformed the harp into a fully fledged jazz instrument, proving that it could perform in bebop on par with the saxophone or piano. Her notable works include the albums "Afro-Harping" and "The Rubaiyat of Dorothy Ashby" Her contributions to jazz music helped expand the boundaries of the genre, making the harp a tool for improvisation and experimentation.
