Harping about Jazz

Tuesday Mayhem 5 10am to 2pm
Hosted by Goodwrench

The Harp is an instrument not usually associated with Jazz, but there are a few skilled practitioners over the decades that have managed to successfully exploit the unique characteristics of the instrument in a Jazz context. This special will examine the work of classic Jazz harpists such as Alice Coltrane and the incomparable Dorothy Ashby, as well as contemporary artists like Zeena Parkins and Anne LeBaron.
