Early Show: Ikuko May

A respected presence on the Vancouver jazz scene, Ikuko May has been performing professionally since 2000. Known for her warm, expressive voice and elegant phrasing, she brings a timeless sensibility to jazz standards, bossa nova, and soulful classics. Ikuko has appeared at a wide range of Vancouver venues—from intimate clubs and restaurants to theaters and festivals—and early in her career opened for the legendary Ray Brown Trio.
