yea--around $40 an album. 4/6 are AAA. all cut by KG and pressed at pallas plus a large book.

Kind of annoying really, if it was cheaper I might generally have been interested in it.
Other than the release that VMP put out (which is great), she has flown under my radar.

i bought it. I think New Land does nice quality work. And $40ish per LP is AP/Tone Poet/MoFi prices. I think New Land's quality is on par with those. And most of these albums are really hard to track down in good shape. Real Gone just did a digital reissue of In A Minor Groove which is good but not amazing.

I'll wait for them to release the records separately, which I believe they will once the box is out of stock (shouldn't take very long imo)

I'm not sure they will release them individually, but you could always reach out to them and see. They seem pretty responsive.
Agree.
Not much of interest here really - the early Ashby records are very 'easy listening-ish' and Frank Wess' flute can be tiresome in its sameness. There is no 'Rubiyat' in here. I feel like the studios didn't know how to record a harp - it sounds like a zither.
Just my opinion here, continuing to encourage folks not to feel they have to bark at every bite reissue labels throw at them.
Do folks have the Great Jazz Trio records on EastWind?
Anyone have the absolutely amazing Gleam by Freddie Hubbard?
Have folks explored the magnificent Sadao Watanabe records on CBS?
How about Ricky Ford's records on Muse?
Terumasa Hino's great, great run on CBS and Victor through the 70's?
Have others heard, and loved, the Billy Harper Baystate recordings - or his work with Max Roach on Baystate and Denon?
And on...and on...and on. There are thousands of great, great records that IMO are vastly more rewarding to occupy my finite listening time, and records that are far deeper and revealing than these - that really don't have much beyond the pleasantness they offer on the surface.
Just my opinion, of course. Not taking away from anyone's pleasure with Dorothy Ashby - enjoy the music. Any music is better than none.

Ashby's box looks great but I just don't feel I need that many records. Box is great for the book too, even though I believe the records will be issued separately I am quite sure book will only be available with the box.
So many great records, great pressings and great music to be discovered.

While we are on harps and on this Ashby's box, there's a new Brandee Younger album coming in April.
Harpist Brandee Younger is defying expectations. Over the past fifteen years, she has worked relentlessly to stretch boundaries and limitations for harpists. In 2022, she broke new ground by becoming the first black woman ever to be nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition. Ever-expanding as an artist, her album, Brand New Life, builds on the already rich oeuvre, seamlessly transcending genre. As the title of the album suggests, Brand New Life is about forging new paths–artistic, personal, political, and spiritual. “We're bringing new life to [Dorothy Ashby’s] old compositions. We're creating new life…for the instrument,” Younger said. The album includes original works by Brandee Younger, reinterpretations of Dorothy Ashby classics, along with a couple of covers that redefine the category.

I hesitate to mention this name in a “Jazz” thread, but I haven’t thought about Zena Parkins in a while.
