Hendrik Meurkens Quartet • A Night In Jakarta

Biography by Scott Yanow

Ever since he started taking harmonica solos in the mid-'50s, Toots Thielemans has been without any close competition on his instrument, at least until Hendrik Meurkens arrived on the scene. Born in Germany to Dutch parents, Meurkens began as a vibraphonist, not playing harmonica until he heard Thielemans when he was 19. He traveled to the U.S. to study at Berklee and spent time in Brazil in the early '80s, during which he immersed himself in Brazilian jazz. Back in Berlin, Meurkens worked in the studios, but also recorded with the Danish Radio Orchestra and had his own jazz group. He made a record in Brazil for the Bellaphon label (1989) and since 1991 has recorded several sets for Concord and Concord Picante as a leader, in addition to appearing on records as a sideman with Charlie Byrd.

Desde que comenzó a tomar solos de armónica a mediados de los años 50, Toots Thielemans ha estado sin ninguna competencia cercana en su instrumento, al menos hasta que Hendrik Meurkens llegó a la escena. Nacido en Alemania de padres holandeses, Meurkens comenzó como vibrafonista, sin tocar la armónica hasta que escuchó a Thielemans cuando tenía 19 años. Viajó a los Estados Unidos para estudiar en Berklee y pasó un tiempo en Brasil a principios de los años 80, durante los cuales se sumergió. en el jazz brasileño. De vuelta en Berlín, Meurkens trabajó en los estudios, pero también grabó con la Orquesta de Radio Danesa y tuvo su propio grupo de jazz.
