flying over bridges
Ashley's fourth album, "Flying Over Bridges," has already been hailed as her masterpiece. Produced by brilliant Cameroonian producer/bassist Andre Manga, it features world class musicians from Senegal, Cameroon, Venezuela, Uruguay, Brazil, and the USA. "Flying Over Bridges" is a rich, rhythmic, shimmering, heady brew of African/Latin/folk/world/jazz. Every song is a story, a jewel of its own. The title's theme runs through the record: bridges, transition, migration, the marriage of opposites, and ultimately, transcending The Bridge itself. Enjoy!

the blessed rain
The Blessed Rain is Ashley's third album, and features some of her most beautiful music yet. Ashley collaborated with Paris and London's finest West African musicians for this pure and sparkling record. Bringing to mind Paul Simon, Youssou N'Dour and Joni Mitchell, the songs feature Ashley's glorious voice, intricate harmonies, and rich African/Latin rhythms, all woven together with the lyrics of a true poet. Clean and uplifting World / folk / jazz.
