gTaeko
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.h - Juanita Fleming, Jazz
& Gospel Singer/Actress |
 |
Taeko, born and raised on the outskirts of Kyoto, Japan, was inspired
by her father's and grandfather's traditional Japanese music and has
been singing as long as she can remember.
In 1998, Taeko came to New York City with dreams of expanding her
singing career and took a strong liking to Jazz. The intense jazz
study, coupled with her naturally appealing voice and musical ideas,
have earned her performances in some of New York City's best known
Jazz and R&B clubs, including Blue Note, Ashford & Simpson's
Sugar Bar, Lenox Lounge, and Zinc Bar. Her musical talent is also
bought to Japan every spring and fall. Taeko performs with great jazz
giants today such as Onaje Allan Gumb, Harry Whitaker, George Colligan,
Kenny Davis, Dwayne Burno, Jim Cammack, Marcus McLaurine, Essiet Essiet,
Vic uris, Yoshiaki Masuo, to name a few.
Taekofs most recent CD ONE
LOVE is to be released from Flat Nine Records, Inc.
in fall 2007. |

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

Interview on JAZZREVIEW.COM 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 “naturalEfor herEot 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 swinginf 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 shefs soaring.
One Love is an interesting and tasteful modern jazz recording. |
