Description:
Ina Dittke started in the jazz business in the early 80s in New York City, with her first company ID Productions, managing artists Jack Walrath, David ‘Fathead’ Newman and Hank Crawford. Shortly after, she was introduced to NEA Jazz Master James Moody whom she managed from 1986 until his death in December 2010.

She continues to represent as manager and/or agent the various formations of The Dizzy Gillespie (TM) Musical Estate, Charles Tolliver, Osibisa, Georgie Fame, Vincent Herring, Matthew Whitaker, Sammy Figueroa, Joao Bosco, Allan Harris, The Mingus Big Band, Brandon Goldberg, Camilla George and many others.
