Taeko To Play CD Release Shows in Hartford 6/11 & New York's Kitano 6/16

In June, jazz singer Taeko will perform two shows to celebrate the release of her new CD, 'Voice.'  The first will be on June 11 at the Polish National Home, 60 Charter Oak Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut.  The second will be on June 16 at the Kitano, 66 Park Avenue at 38th Street, New York, New York.  The show will feature songs written by Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, Marvin Gaye, Duke Ellington, Stanley Turrentine, and Taeko.

According to Russ Musto, "Taeko has a voice that everyone should hear."  Karl Stober says, "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."
