Akua Dixon

Album US 2014 on Akua's Music label
Jazz (Post-Bop, Bop, Swing)

Some technical and studio credits were omitted as I could not confirm which listings matched and I didn't want to create unneeded listings. The composer/lyricist credits are incomplete in several instances, Howard Dietz is not listed for track 2, lyricist Lorenz Hart for track 4 and lyricist Johnny Mercer is missing from track 6. This was Akua Dixon's second CD as a leader.
