Harold Ashby (March 21, 1925, Kansas City, Missouri – June 13, 2003, New York City) was a jazz tenor saxophonist. He is perhaps known for his work with Duke Ellington's band (having replaced Jimmy Hamilton in 1968) and stylistic similarities with Ben Webster. He worked as a freelance musician after leaving the Duke Ellington Orchestra in 1975, and took part in various reunions of Ellington alumni, as well as recording and gigging with his own bands. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Harold+Ashb
