A pioneer who brought the harp into hard bop, Dorothy Ashby's 1958 classic with flautist Frank Wess. She reframes the classical harp as a swinging bebop voice, backed by Roy Haynes' solid drums — light yet mysterious. Reissued by Real Gone on limited mixed-color vinyl.
A solo album from synthesist Jeremiah Chiu, a core member of experimental-jazz quintet SML. Named for architecture's 'edge conditions,' its sound runs from YMO, Yasuaki Shimizu and Arthur Russell to Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin, switching between dance, techno-jazz, ambient and field recording. Released on International Anthem.
