This collaboration captures a moment where elegance and experimentation meet, transporting listeners to a uniquely soulful era.
Featuring standout interpretations such as the spellbinding “Bohemia After Dark,” In A Minor Groove showcases Ashby’s uncanny ability to bring rhythmic depth to her instrument, while Wess adds a textured sophistication.
