Harold Ashby- Harold Ashby Quartet (CD)
Ashby appeared on the scene as if by magic when Jimmy Hamilton retired from the Ellington Orchestra in 1968 - he was in his 40s and had been around for years but much of his early discography was with rhythm-and-blues bands. He went on his own after Duke's death and made European tours with all-star packages. This was his first session as leader for a US-based label, and he takes good advantage of the opportunity.
Tracklist:
- Candy
- Quickie
- There Is No Greater Love
- Dainty
- Over the Rainbow
- Pleading
- Days of Wine and Roses
- Cous Cous
- There Is No Greater Love (Alt TK9) 1
- Days of Wine and Roses (Alt TK3) 1
- Pleading (Alt TK1) 1
- Dainty (Alt TK1)
