Dorothy Meets Jimmy & Tom

There was some discussion about this LP earlier in the year, and when I saw the cover I knew it looked familiar. I hunted all over the place, but couldn't find it. Fast forward six months later, and I stumble across it while looking for something else in the stacks. So I grabbed it, recorded it, and I'm sharing it with you today. The album is a bit of a mystery. It's on a label that only ever released this one record, and even though Dorothy Ashby is a noted jazz harpist, it's never been reissued. The other two folks appear to have been staff keyboardists at two different Detroit radio stations, and released no other music that I can find. It's an interesting record, if a little downbeat. Maybe give it a listen and let me know what you think. This is Dorothy Ashby-Jimmy Clark-Tom Montgomery-The Sounds Of Christmas (Tab XCTV-87705/6, Mono, Early 60's).
