Ashley Jackson, harp: Take Me to the Water (Decca)

“When I was conceiving the album version of Take Me to the Water, I was first and primarily interested in the ways that water can connect us.” says harpist Ashley Jackson. “For me, the message is, ‘What are the things that we have in common with one another, despite our differences?’” Jackson’s recent recording is a project that symbolizes love, freedom, hope and rebirth.
