The extended, rotating ensemble explores music by Jobim, Caymmi and Toninho Horta as well as four engaging originals by HENDRIK MEURKENS who is featured throughout on harmonica.
Reviews 'Amazon River':
“Already a virtuoso on harmonica (and the first serious rival to Toots Thielemans on the instrument), he is in terrific form throughout this session." Ken Dryden - All Music Guide
“When the great wordsmith in the sky invented the word “gorgeous" She might have been thinking of this album, a celebration of all that is lovely about Brazilian music, from samba and choro through bossa nova and jazz...49 minutes rarely pass so quickly--but you can always hit the repeat button. I've been doing that all afternoon. “ Chris May - All About Jazz
“In this amazing jazz release, he is joined by Dori Caymmi, Oscar Castro-Neves (who produced the recording), and other Brazilian musicians in a blend of original songs and personal renditions of tunes by Jobim, Oscar Castro-Neves and others. The beautiful title track, with the harrowing vocals and guitar by Caymmi are reason enough to buy the album in the first place. Just Castro-Neves' guitar and Meurkens' harmonica are enough in “Sem Voce", a composition by Jobim." Ernest Barteldes - Coluna The Brasilians
