| “Taeko
is an amazing and exiting songbird from Japan with a great command
of her clean voice and keen musicianship. She is one of the best of
her generation.” - Juanita Fleming, Jazz
& Gospel Singer/Actress |
Born and raised in Japan, Taeko came to New York City in 1998 with
dreams of expanding her singing career and discovered the world of
Jazz. Her intense jazz study, coupled with a naturally appealing clear
voice and unique musical ideas, have earned her performances in some
of New York City's best known jazz clubs, including Blue Note, Minton’s
Playhouse, Kitano, and Zinc Bar. Taeko also tours Japan every year.
She is scheduled to perform at various jazz festivals in the US in
2009.
Taeko’s new CD “ONE LOVE”
(2007/Flat
Nine Records) is one of the best vocal albums in recent
years that introduces the young star. Taeko combines Ella-Fitzgerald-like
scatting and Anita-Baker-like soulfulness. “An interesting and tasteful
modern jazz recording” said Jazz Improve NY Magazine. |

Taeko Fukao:
CD Release Party at the Kitano Hotel : Written by Lucy Galliher/June,
2008
Vocalist Taeko Fukao celebrated her new album, One Love at the Kitano
Hotel on June 4, 2008. A good crowd turned out for the event. Taeko
was wearing a beautiful dress: a beige mesh over satin. The singer,
who has a very appealing voice, made it to the final 12 of the Jazzmobile
Vocal Competition this year, and she works well with her trio of outstanding
jazz musicians. Read

Between Sets with Taeko...
Blurring the Lines Between Cultures
Artist Interview by: Karl
Stober March, 2008
Taeko Fukao, a name widely known now, but in the very near future,
artiste Taeko the talent, will be synonymous with harmonic ingenuity
and inventive musicality. Taeko has unearthed emotional jazz both
in performance and concept. Talents are hidden beneath this Japanese
born musical philosopher with a range that is refreshingly crisp.
Taeko also has a gift of putting fear aside and acting on logic and
direction. Asked if she found scatting difficult as many do, Taeko
just expressed it as 渡atural・for her・ot frightening or hard, just
what was right for that tune and time! Read

| One
Love CD Review by Jazz Improv NY Magazine |
| |
Written by Jordan Richardson May 2008 Issue
Taeko Fukao is a singer with a wide range of tastes and a wide range
of capabilities. Her latest release "One Love" is an eclectic
collection of modern jazz compositions and standards from the bop
era, as well as the post and pre-bop eras, plus a couple of surprises
(the title track among them). Fukao has the swingin’ sensibilities
to deliver spirited scat solos on medium swingers as well as the depth
and poignancy required for gentle ballads ( of which there are many
on One Love). She has assembled a band that supports her comfortably
when called for, and spurs her on to new heights when she’s soaring.
One Love is an interesting and tasteful modern jazz recording. |
