MaurÃcio Zottarelli, Ian MacDonald and Pedro Ramos.
"In this vibrant collection....Hendrik Meurkens again engrossingly blends a
vital jazz core - rooted in the melodic grace of Charlie Parker - with an
affinity and affection for beats Brazilian. A one-time Rio resident who employs
a cast of top Brazilian and American jazz artists, chromatic harmonica and
vibes player Meurkens offers profound authenticity - and musicality -
throughout." Zan Stewart - Star Ledger
"Ever since jazz discovered the samba some 50 years ago, many non-Brazilian
musicians have flipped over the style and added bossa nova and jazz samba to
their repertoire.
Some - including Charlie Byrd, Stan Getz and Herbie Mann - became
influential and loyal supporters of the stylistic hybrid. Perhaps no one, however, has
so thoroughly assimilated the essence of the 'Brazilian thing' as Hendrik
Meurkens." - Mark Holston, Jazziz - May 2008
"Meurkens possesses an advanced and beautiful harmonica technique. He easily
belongs in the same company as Toots Thielemans and Stevie Wonder.... His
soloing...is sprite with ideas and sharp technique." - All About Jazz
