Our Take
Our Take
Dorothy Ashby's "The Rubáiyát of Dorothy Ashby" is a mesmerising fusion of jazz and psychedelic sounds that will transport you to another dimension quicker than you can say "harpsichord". Ashby's masterful command of the harp is nothing short of breathtaking, weaving intricate melodies that envelop you in a warm, dreamy haze.
Opening track "Wax and Wane" sets the tone with its hypnotic groove, effortlessly blending Eastern influences with funky basslines and Ashby's ethereal harp melodies. It's like being whisked away on a magic carpet ride through a kaleidoscope of musical textures.
"Drink" is a standout track, with its infectious rhythm and soulful vocals that draw you in like a siren song. Ashby's harp takes centre stage, fluttering and cascading over the lush orchestration like a gentle breeze on a summer's day.
The album's title track is a true gem, showcasing Ashby's innovative approach to composition and arrangement. The swirling harp lines intertwine with jazzy horns and funky beats, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is as intoxicating as it is entrancing.
In conclusion, "The Rubáiyát of Dorothy Ashby" is a timeless masterpiece that cements Ashby's place as a visionary in the world of jazz. Do yourself a favour and immerse yourself in this sonic wonderland—it's an experience you won't soon forget.
