[edit] Discography notes

  1. In the main chronological listing, years shown reflect the album's original recording session year(s), which is typically, but not always, the album's initial release year.
  2. This discography includes some albums that were released only in Japan and others that were released only in the USA or Europe.
  3. Occasionally, a single recording, released in two different regions and/or at different times by different record labels, will have two different titles. Example: Toshiko's Piano and Amazing Toshiko Akiyoshi.
  4. Different record labels have occasionally re-used the same or similar title for different Akiyoshi albums. Examples: Long Yellow Road (3), Sumie (2), Time Stream (2), etc.
  5. Some Akiyoshi albums, when exported from Japan, are identified only by the Japanese version of the (original English) title. For example SHIO GIN NAN = Salted Gingko Nuts and HANA KAI TAN = Tales of a Courtesan. Alternately, the re-translation into English of a recording's Japanese title, may not match the original English title. For example, the big band album European Memoirs, in Japan is typically referred to as simply MEMOWARU (メモワール = Japanese phonetic spelling of the word "Memoir"). When re-translated back into English, this title sometimes becomes Memoir (without the preceding "European") or Memory (i.e. the English translation of the English (French) word "Memoir").
