One of the grooviest records ever, a sublime blend of African percussion, soulful orchestrations, and Dorothy Ashby's amazing electric harp!! By the time of this landmark album, Dorothy had been knocking around the Jazz world for a number of years, but it wasn't until she hooked up with Richard Evans at Cadet Records that her sound really began to cook, breaking down genres and expectations in the trademark style of the best late 60´s sides from the Chicago underground. The record's got a bit of Funk, a bit of Jazz, and a heck of a lot of Soul, and the setting works perfectly for Dorothy's harp, giving it a lot more room to work around than some of her smaller Jazz combo albums!!Tracklisting:
1. Soul Vibrations
2. Games
3. Action Line
4. Lonely Girl
5. Life Has It's Trials
6. Afro-Harping

8. Theme From "Valley Of The Dolls"
