AllMusic Staff Pick:
Dorothy Ashby
Hip Harp
Released in 1958, the second album from groundbreaking jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby is a mellow, grooving affair. Along with a sturdy rhythm section and flutist Frank Wess, Ashby uses her deftly controlled harp to steer the album's seven laid-back selections. Ashby would later venture into psychedelic soul jazz, but on Hip Harp the moods are strictly cool.

Amanda Whiting - Lost in Abstraction - jazz harpist’s new album, joined by Chip Wickham on flute (Jazzman Records)
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to last year's incredibly well-received debut album 'After Dark, Welsh harpist Amanda Whiting is back with another glorious offering.
The trio is joined again by the mesmerising lines of flautist Chip Wickham, resuming their conversation reminiscent of Dorothy Ashby and Frank Wess.
‘Lost in Abstraction’ was written during a period of the unknown when Whiting, like most, explored her own sense of self. The world paused, with no timeframe, and the fragility of life was laid bare. A time when humanity was left searching for purpose. Freedom and the dependable structures of familiarity were dissolved in most aspects of life. But music stayed constant. Creativity kept weaving its thread, connecting music and its makers in an indissoluble bond.
The album explores the questions and realisations whilst confined. The spiritual findings, the playful curiousness and the reflective moments of loss. Whiting’s writing indulges the listener with the spiritual ethereal washes of sound demanded of the harp, whilst also embracing her influences across many genres. Classically trained, her roots are evident. But with an emotionally charged energy and spiritual questioning, a new soundscape of modernity has emerged.
So often associated with Ashby and Coltrane, the harp finds itself in the hands of a new voice which tells the story of a period of time where the world was unified in reflection.
So what is that feeling when you resonate?
When your breath steadies and you let go
Lines no longer restrict or choke
Energies envelop, yet set you free
Are you lost or found?
Amanda Whiting - harp
Chip Wickham - flute
Aidan Thorne - bass
Jon Reynolds - drums
Baldo Verdú - percussion
