dorothy ashby - the rubàiyát of dorothy ashby (cadet record, 1969)

Come fill the cup of your soul with 'Wine, the Infidel'. Sweet time. -Feel melow -high-higher, pretty-Beatiful. Partake of 'Joyful Grass and Grapes'. Watch magic "Shadows and Shapes' come and go. It's all here -right here- in the grooves. She even sings with diversity. Sometimes alone -sometimes with herself- sounding somewhat like a serpent as her voice weaves in and out introducing 'Wax and Wane'. Perfect pitch se has. A gift from above. She's fortunate. We're fortunate. We can hear -listen- enjoy-. Modesty is the reason I believe she wanted to only record two of these songs in possibly same other album. Absurd! Richard Evans said, "Gives us all of it". Thanks, Richard. She composed them. They're hers -but they're for us-.

Dorothy recorre un mundo mágico para los sentidos, en 'rubàiyát' su afro-harp de bop, soul y acid se ve envuelto por la tradición y el exotismo, la de detroit visita áfrica, japón, arabia y te envuelve con su frágil, emocionante y místico paraíso. Sugiere, juguetea y crea melodías al arpa, piano y un koto (cítara de 12 de cuerdas de origen chino, la que toca en la portada) que suena melódico y delicado, rodeada de vibráfonos, saxos, piccolos, oboes, kalimbas, boobams, chelos y violínes, que estimulan la ofrenda de soul-cósmico y jazz de mañana al salir el sol de 'For Some We Loved' o 'Joyful Grass and Grape' para la que no hay palabras, música para tus sueños. Escucha 'The Moving Finger' puro jazz con delicioso saxo alto, deja libre a tus dedos.
