Dorothy Ashby - The Rubaiyat Of Dorothy Ashby (Verve By Request Series) (LP)

The Rubaiyat Of Dorothy Ashby stands as a visionary jazz masterpiece from harpist Dorothy Ashby, blending spiritual, soulful, and experimental sounds with remarkable finesse. Originally released in 1970, this album showcases Ashby's innovative use of the koto alongside rich arrangements by Richard Evans, weaving together flutes, vibraphone, oboe, kalimba, and her evocative vocals for a truly genre-defying experience.

This reissue in the Verve By Request Series lets listeners immerse themselves in Ashby's timeless compositions, beautifully remastered from the original analog tapes. The album’s adventurous spirit and lush instrumentation offer a unique listening journey, solidifying its reputation as a landmark recording in jazz history.
