On The Rise (1989)

"Every now and then you want something that is just background music. It doesn't get much more background than a harp. This harpist, Deborah Henson-Conant, is also a jazz musician. It sounds odd, but it works. These songs, a dozen in total, all have Deborah on the harp. Producer Mark Egan plays both fretted and unfretted bass as appropriate. Again, this is perfect for that background music when you have people over for dinner or practicing that ancient ritual of talking to each other." (Amazon)
