Dorothy Ashby underrated, very gifted

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


   in the literature of jazz you very rarely hear of her
not saying she's one of the all time greats

but she was very gifted and unique and her music is very appealing

is she underrated because of her gender?  I think maybe so

	Gender was probably a factor, the fact that she played an unorthodox instrument for jazz was also a factor, but her music is well worth checking out.
