This show took place on November 4, 2022. See what’s coming up at The Jazz Room.
Fuat Tuaç is a Toronto based jazz vocalist of Turkish Origin. After completing his degree in “Jazz Studies” in Montréal, he released his first album, “Late Bloomer” in late 2017 which received critical acclaim and still receives a lot of airplay on jazz radios over the world. The second album, “The Immigrant” has been released. Fuat sings in 5 different languages and has a very eclectic repertoire. Fuat performs regularly in Toronto and İstanbul jazz scene. Globetrotting and time travel through the history of jazz are fused with hip, up-to-the-minute Canadian urban poetry which is in turn inflected with Turkish street flavor. The international feel of Fuat Tuaç’s music may have its roots in Turkey but like Fuat, takes flight and soars, seemingly intent on visiting more destinations than an airport departure lounge. Underpinning the entire endeavor is some rock-solid musicianship provided by Eric St-Laurent on guitar, Kevin Turcotte on trumpet, Eric West on drums, and Jordan O’Connor on double bass.
