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.

Biografía de Scott Yanow
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. Hizo un disco en Brasil
para el sello Bellaphon (1989) y desde 1991 ha grabado varios sets para
Concord y Concord Picante como líder, además de aparecer en discos como
sideman con Charlie Byrd.
