Ashley Jackson: ‘Deep River II’

Award-winning harpist Ashley Jackson, whose expressive work melds traditional classical music with the rich heritage of Black spirituality, has a new album on the horizon — Take Me To The Water (out March 21).  In her masterful dip into transformative and spiritual power of water, Jackson interprets work by Alice Coltrane, Claude Debussy, and — on Today’s Top Tune “Deep River II” — the work of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
