I am looking so forward to interviewing jazz cellist Akua Dixon this Tuesday. Since it is my birthday I could not be more thrilled to talk with an artist who plays one of my favorite instruments. Ms. Dixon just released a new CD with songs that range from the Great American Songbook to tango and Afro-Cuban Latin gems. The CD is comprised of Ms. Dixon’s string quartet and features special guests such as violinists Regina Carter, John Blake Jr, and Kenny Davis. Pam and I will discuss the new CD and share a couple of snippets from Ms. Dixon’s self-titled 2nd CD, which is hailed by jazz journalist, Scott Yanow, “…worth hearing and savoring.”
