Haruna Fukazawa

Departure (Summit Records)

Haruna Fukazawa is a New York-based flutist originally from Japan. She has been an active member of the American and Japanese musical scenes as a performer, composer, and recording artist for over a decade. Her straightforward, joyful, and powerful playing style is inspired most by her legendary teacher and mentor Frank Wess. In 2009 she started visiting New York City regularly to study with Wess, and shortly after decided to move to New York to play jazz full-time at the encouragement of Wess. She has performed in some of the most prestigious venues in New York City.
