Jazz string pioneer Akua Dixon’s contributions to bowed jazz cannot be overstated. She rose to prominence during the early 1970s through her involvement in the String Reunion, a 30-piece orchestra founded by Noel Pointer. Concurrently, she launched her own quartet, Quartette Indigo, which made its big-league debut at the Village Gate with her sister Gayle Dixon, Maxine Roach, and John Blake Jr. Dixon
