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.

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!

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.
