Recorded on March 21, 1958, Hip Harp is a timeless jazz gem that showcases the extraordinary talent of harpist Dorothy Ashby alongside the smooth flute work of Frank Wess. Originally released on the legendary Prestige label, this collaboration captures Ashby at her finest — a pioneering musician who helped establish the harp as a serious instrument in jazz.
The interplay between Ashby's harp and Wess's flute gives Hip Harp a distinctly airy yet soulful quality that remains utterly captivating decades after its original release. With liner notes by respected jazz writer Ira Gitler and lacquer cutting by the legendary Rudy Van Gelder, this is a recording crafted with care from the very beginning — now brought back to life on vinyl for a new generation of listeners to enjoy.
