Tutty Moreno (born 30 October 1947) is a Brazilian drummer.

Career
Born in Salvador, Bahia, Moreno started his career at the early age of 13, at first as a trumpet player, then playing alto sax, then finally, at 16 years old, as a drummer. His style and his very own musical language, developed throughout more than 50 years as a professional musician, had its first peak in the early ‘70s. From then on, he has been incessantly connected, in tours and recordings, with some of the most important Brazilian artists, such as Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Maria Bethania, Joyce and many others. He has also played with some legendary jazz musicians, like Walter Booker, Jim Hall and Ernie Watts, among others, and with musicians of different styles, like Japanese singer Lisa Ono.

In the 1970s, he lived and worked in London, Los Angeles and New York, returning to his native Brasil in 1978. In the 1980s he also formed in the percussion section of the Brazilian Symphony Orchestra. From the 1990s on, his career has taken again an international turn, touring and recording in and out of Brazil.

His first solo CD, 'Tocando, Sentindo, Suando - Tutty Moreno and Friends', was released in 1996 in Europe and Japan, by London label Far Out Recordings. He was also a member of Quarteto Livre, one of the most important Brazilian jazz groups in the 1990's, whose first album, 'Pra Que Mentir?' has been released by Brazilian label Lumiar.

His second solo release, 'Forças D’Alma', out in 1998, has been praised by critics all over the country, and was released in the US market by American label Malandro Records. In 2001, the TuttyMoreno quartet was one of the main acts at the Chivas Jazz Festival, and was praised by the Brazilian press as “the most amazing surprise of the festival”.

In 2007, he and his longtime partner in music and life, Brazilian singer/songwriter Joyce Moreno, made an album together, 'Samba-Jazz & Outras Bossas', to celebrate their 30 years making music together.

In 2008, he had a Latin Grammy nomination as Best Jazz Album, with the album 'Nonada', an all-star collective of Brazilian creative musicians.

In 2014, as a member of ZR Trio, he won Prêmio da Música Brasileira (Best Group).

He currently continues to record and travel around the world, mostly with the Joyce Moreno Quartet, and with his own group, besides many other artists and instrumental projects), and is considered as a major influence by a whole generation of young Brazilian musicians today.
