Afro-Harping is Dorothy Ashby's 1968 album for Cadet, the record that proved the harp could lead a jazz band and groove while doing it. Arranger and producer Richard Evans surrounds her with Chicago session players, African percussion, strings and even a theremin on the opening "Soul Vibrations," landing somewhere between soul jazz, funk and orchestral pop. Her reading of Freddie Hubbard's "Little Sunflower" bends notes with her pedal technique, and "Games" and the title track have long been favorites with crate diggers and producers. This Verve reissue presents the original ten-track album on vinyl.
