简介

Hendrik Meurkens，在半音阶口琴和电颤琴方面有极深的造诣，是Toots Thielemans之后最重要的爵士乐手。出生于德国，在纽约成长，大量的作品和表演以其音乐的感染力而赢得了全世界的欢呼。感受了Toots Thielemans的作品后，Hendrik Meurkens就决定将自己发展为独特的电颤琴乐手；同时也受Thielemans的琴声激励，他自学了口琴这件最难掌握的乐器。对samba和bossa nova的介绍可以说是Hendrik Meurkens的另一种音乐生涯。在Berklee作为电颤琴乐手的一次表演后，Meurkens深深地被巴西音乐打动了；在80年代前期，他移居Rio将自己完全投入到了巴西音乐和文化之中。 Meurkens频繁地出现在Rio俱乐部的舞台上，很快他便被巴西音乐家们所接受。他那强烈而富有感情的口琴声也深受巴西听众的欢迎；在Rio的日子里，Meurkens遇到了许多音乐家，后来都成为了自己在欧洲和纽约的搭档。 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.
