SUMMARY:HENDRIK MEURKENS
DESCRIPTION:Jazz harmonica virtuoso and composer Hendrik Meurkens began his career in Germany playing vibraphone. At age 19\, he heard Toots Thielemans play harmonica\, which totally changed his musical life. His career has taken him from Germany to Brazil\, then throughout the European continent and eventually to the US. In 1992\, a trip to California led to his signing with the prestigious Concord label and established him as the first major new voice on the harmonica since Toots Thielemans. His 30 albums have received rave reviews and strong airplay\, and established his immediately recognizable style of Brazilian Jazz. In 2014 he won the Brazilian International Press Award and he has been listed repeatedly in the Downbeat and JazzTimes Polls. Meurkens has recorded and performed with Ray Brown\, Paquito D’Rivera\, Astrud Gilberto and many others. \nCover Charge: $35.00 +2 Drink Minimum

SUMMARY:HENDRIK MEURKENS
DESCRIPTION:Hendrik Meurkens\, a virtuoso on both the chromatic harmonica and the vibraphone\, is the most important jazz harmonica player since Toots Thielemans. A two-mallet player in the tradition of Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson\, Hendrik Meurkens was en-route to being an instantly recognizable vibraphonist when he heard Toots Thielemans. Inspired by the sound of Thielemans’ harmonica\, he taught himself the difficult-to-master instrument. \nHis other life-changing musical experience was his introduction to samba and bossa nova. He was so moved by Brazilian music that after perfecting his unique musical voice at Berklee\, as a vibraphone major\, he moved to Rio in the early 80s to totally immerse himself in music and culture of Brazil. \nWithin ten years\, he had established himself as the “new jazz harmonica voice\,” and moved to New York\, thanks to an exclusive contract with the prestigious label\, Concord Records. He has since recorded fifteen albums\, and continues to perform as both a guest artist\, and with his own groups\, both in festivals and clubs globally. \nHendrik Meurkens’ profound involvement in both jazz and Brazilian music resulted in a very personal and instantly recognizable version of Samba jazz. This music features his harmonica and vibes along with piano\, bass and drums\, playing his stirring originals and arrangements.  \nTickets:  $20 – $45 | $2.33 – $3.56 Fees
