She achieved attention in the jazz scene through an album that they on the Candid label in 1960 grossed with musicians such as Kenny Burrell, Buck Clayton, Dickie Wells and Milt Hinton ( " Wild Women Do not Have the Blues" ). It was produced by its discoverer, Nat Hentoff.
After her candid album yet followed one for Atlantic (1962), " You Never Know" with John Lewis as a musical director, arranger and pianist, as well as Dick Katz, Phil Woods, Jim Hall, Richard Davis and Connie Kay.
Then Harrow got out a long time out of the music business to devote himself to her family and to raise her two sons. During this time she was busy with the publication of a literary journal American Journal. In 1975, she returned to the jazz scene and took a series of albums for the label Audiophile, finesse, Inner City, Tono, Gazell and Soul Note on with accompanying musicians such as Bob Brookmeyer, Roland Hanna, Dick Katz, Clark Terry and again Phil Woods.
