Nice album from Dorothy Ashby in 1968: "Afro-Harping." I lived in Detroit during that period and Dorothy gigged everywhere around town.

It's really frustrating that there are no sidemen credits to be found anywhere. I'm guessing flute/piccolo is Frank Wess, although fellow Detroiter Yusef Lateef is a possibility.

There's a strange oboe-sounding-reedy keyboard in the mix. Farfisa? Or maybe in fact an oboe?

Recorded and released on the Chicago-based Cadet label.

Wikipedia lists the additional personnel as "Unidentified orchestra arranged and conducted by Richard Evans". Don't know if that gives you a better idea of who the sidemen may have been.
- Lots of interesting info on Evans here... - musetap 09:09:37 05/20/22 (0)
  He had his group of main players around Cadet/Chess and WAS a main player it seems.
  
  Thank for the OP, been years since I heard any Afro Harping!
