Dorothy Ashby? Never heard of her? Doesn’t matter. The modern jazz harpist’s compositions make up a good half of the programme compiled by fellow artist Brandee Younger on her second album for Impulse! Which piques your curiosity about Younger’s inspiration. But before you go hunting for old records, you might want to check out the R&B and hip-hop-inspired jazz harp renditions on »Brand New Life« first. Above all, Younger can be wonderfully impressionistic without flaunting her virtuoso skills in your face.
