Cindy Horstman & Friends - HiFi Harp
| APE+CUE | 324MB | Harp, Jazz, Instrumental | 1998 |
Released in 1998 by TopMusic (TMCD 1050), HiFi Harp is a unique and refreshing jazz instrumental album that features the harp as its lead voice, performed with elegance and precision by renowned artist Cindy Horstman. Blending smooth jazz, Latin influences, and classic standards, the album delivers a delicate yet vibrant sonic experience, elevating the harp from its classical origins into a lush, contemporary jazz setting.

From the very first track, “Song For My Father,” Horstman’s harp shimmers with clarity and rhythmic sophistication, breathing new life into this Horace Silver classic. The arrangement of “Do It Again” offers a relaxed yet groovy vibe, showcasing the ensemble’s tight interplay, while “Europa,” with its Santana roots, glides with romanticism and melodic grace.

Other jazz standards like “Round Midnight” and “Summertime” are given elegant, introspective interpretations—far from conventional, the harp’s tones soften the edges and bring a luminous quality to each note. “Footprints” and “Chitlins Con Carne” show a more playful, blues-infused side, proving the harp’s versatility across jazz subgenres.

The standout “Dawn of Kosmon” feels ethereal and cinematic, while the final track, “Lullaby,” closes the album with a tender, calming whisper—perfectly bookending an emotionally varied musical journey.

Supported by a skilled group of musicians ("& Friends"), the instrumentation is tight and thoughtfully arranged, allowing space for Horstman’s harp to shine while creating a rich ensemble sound. The production quality is crystal clear, befitting the “HiFi” label and audiophile-focused TopMusic.

HiFi Harp is a rare gem in the jazz world—sophisticated, warm, and innovative. Cindy Horstman redefines what the harp can be in a jazz context, making this album a must-listen for fans of smooth jazz, harp music, and refined instrumental artistry.
