Ashby, Dorothy "The Rubaiyat Of Dorothy Ashby" [Verve By Request]

Electrified harp, funky vibes, Japanese koto, and more - all wrapped up in Chicago soul arrangements from the legendary Richard Evans. Easily the funkiest record ever from the legendary Dorothy Ashby - a set of all-original tunes based on the writings of Omar Khayyam, done in trans-cultural blend that inflects Ashby's jazz roots with Eastern-styled instrumentation - and sends the whole thing home with beats and grooves on the bottom. Produced and arranged by Chicago soul legend Richard Evans! Heavy funk with harp, vibes, flute, and more!
