Description
Hendrik Meurkens joins me on episode 84.Hendrik is a German chromatic player who has been living in New York since the early 1990s. Toots Thielemans was Hendrik’s inspiration to take up the chromatic and he performed a live radio show in Germany with Toots. Hendrik is also a vibraphone player, which he studied at the Berklee College of Music. Shortly after this he spent a year in Brazil to immerse himself in the music there. This helped him form his brand of Brazilian music, Samba Jazz.Hendrik has a large album catalogue, including six albums with the prestigious jazz label Concord, and has performed and recorded with some of the biggest names in Brazilian and jazz music.Links:Hendrik's website:https://hendrikmeurkens.com/Bandcamp site:https://hendrikmeurkens.bandcamp.com/Hendrik’s album catalogue:https://hendrikmeurkens.com/portfolio/Tutorial site:https://www.mymusicmasterclass.com/artist/artists/hendrik-meurkens/Videos:Hendrick playing vibes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbIMf3iMNkQTribute To Toots concert in Uruguay:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jcUG7RTNWQPlaying with WDR Big Band:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzyE4Yv2xloPlaying at the Blue Note in New York:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuIAVFDAmqASambatropolis with WDR Big Band:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_G2RuvtyMIDolores Claiborne movie clip:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSMimK5uUikPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS
