Description
The chromatic harmonica may look like a simple toy or a novelty but it is actually one of the most difficult of all
instruments to play. Stating a bebop melody with the ease of a saxophonist has only been achieved by a small handful of jazz harmonica players, most notably Toots Thielemans and Hendrik Meurkens.
For his new project 'The Jazz Meurkengers', Meurkens decided that a new swinging jazz album was long overdue so he contacted pianist Steve Ash, bassist Chris Berger and drummer Andy Watson to help him deliver the hard-bop groove of Winton Kelly, Jimmy Cobb and Wes Montgomery.
The album features four standards, five Meurkens originals and special guests Ed Cherry and Nick Hampton.
