The Incredible Dorothy Donegan Trio is a 1992 album by jazz pianist Dorothy Donegan. This was recorded live on a cruise ship during the 1991 Floating Jazz Festival aboard the S/S Norway "in various parts of the Caribbean sea." She is joined by Jon Burr on bass and Ray Mosca on drums, with special guest Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet.

Dorothy's Harp is a studio album by jazz harpist Dorothy Ashby released in 1969 via the Cadet label. A few years after releasing Dorothy’s Harp, she started working with Stevie Wonder. The record includes two Brazilian-touched compositions: "Reza" and "Canto de Ossanha". The album was re-released as a CD in 2006.

Dorothy Donegan, one of the great jazz pianists, was only sporadically documented prior to the mid-'70s. She cut two songs for Bluebird back in 1942; a few scattered numbers for Continental and a few obscure labels; five long out-of-print albums in the 1950s for Jubilee, Capitol, and Roulette; and just one LP during 1962-1974. This retrospective put out on CD by Rosetta is therefore quite valuable. Six of the 15 selections (which skip back and forth between 1953, 1957-1958, 1960-1963, and 1979) were originally released on obscure albums while the other nine performances were never out before. Despite the constant jumping of decades, there is a uniformity to the music, with Donegan often sounding in exuberant form. She explores stride, boogie-woogie, bop, blues, and classical music, sometimes during the same piece. This CD (which has lengthy and informative liner notes) is a perfect introduction to Dorothy Donegan's often-overlooked artistry.

The Explosive Dorothy Donegan is a 1980 album by jazz pianist Dorothy Donegan, originally released on Progressive Records, CD pressing on the Audiophile label. She is joined by Jerome Hunter on bass and Ray Mosca on drums. This was recorded on 31 March, 1980.

Afro-Harping is the 1968 album by harpist Dorothy Ashby. Originally released on Cadet Records in 1968, this CD was released on 25 March, 2003 by the Verve Music Group.

This LP brings together for the first time, HIP HARP and IN A MINOR GROOVE, the two albums recorded in 1958 by the legendary jazz harpist and polistrumentist Dorothy Ashby. Dorothy Ashby had a unique soul jazz harp sound, and although the instrument she used is probably more thought of in terms of bedtime lullabies, she actually makes it swing nicely, and with a soulful sound that draws back to traditions of African stringed instruments. Ashby was part of the same scene as Yusef Lateef, and like Lateef, she managed to use odd instrumentation in new contexts, to get a very unique jazz sound.

Proving they can fit right in with the big boys, Dorothy’s debut album provided a fresh vibe of stunningly addictive hard rock hits lead by namesake Dorothy Martin’s soulfully charming vocals. On first impressions, 28 Days In The Valley has seemingly moved the band from lively and aggressive to a country-esque bluesy record and given that the album artwork reads more like 28daySINthevalley there’s still a lingering hopefulness of that gritty and darker edge that listeners fell in love with on Rock Is Dead.

Rockisdead is the 2016 CD by American indie rock band Dorothy, lead by vocalist Dorothy Martin. This was released by Roc Nation.
