Dorothy Ashby

As a following to one of the last topics about piano, guitar or drums as models for vibists, i found that video who took me completely off-guard.
Dorothy Ashby was a jazzwoman playing HARP ! And to my biggest surprise, i discovered that finally jazz harp is very close to vibraphone. Same long notes to dampen, same fight to get a good jazz phrasing, and chords sounding very close to the way they sound on vibes.

I'll Remember April solo arrangement (in progress!)

Hey all,

I hope this is the right place to post this - this is my first time actually making a post. With all the work we've been doing on I'll Remember April I thought to share an arrangement I've been making of it. It's by no means done or even close to done but I thought it'd be great to share and get some feedback.
