Dorothy Ashby is on some other people's records, for instance Body Language for Lovers by percussionist Bobbye Hall.

I'd never heard of Hall before but I've heard her a zillion times without realizing it. You have too. She plays percussion on Pink Floyd's The Wall, for example, and also on hist songs by Janis Joplin, Bill Withers, Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Diana Ross, James Taylor. She's toured and/or recorded with Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Bob Seegerm Donovan, Dolly Parton, etc, etc.

Body Language for Lovers is a great record, smooth, mellow, groovy, almost entirely instrumental. It was a really nice surprise. Buddy Collette is also on it, playing sax and flute.
