Hendrik Meurkens: Poema Brasileiro
by Dave Hughes
My favorite among a crop of fine recent Brazilian music releases is a CD that is not by a Brazilian, but by a Belgian - harmonica wiz and vibraphonist Hendrik Meurkens. He gets plenty of help from guests composer / keyboardist / vocalist Ivan Lins, trumpeter Claudio Roditi, guitarist Romero Lubambo, drummer Teo Lima, and others. ...
Uakti: Trilobyte
by Dave Hughes
Uakti (pronounced “wah-ke-chee") is a four-person ensemble from Brazil, three percussionists and a flutist. Many of their instruments are created by the musicians themselves, including the trilobyte (the album's namesake), which is a set of tuned PVC pipes covered with drum skins and played with the fingers. This is a very engaging, interesting album. Many of ...

by Dave Hughes

For this, he is to be commended. Overall, it's a successful effort. He keeps one foot solidly planted on contemporary ...
Bela Fleck & the Flecktones: Live Art
by Dave Hughes
This is a totally excellent album. Buy it! Regardless of whether you've never heard of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, or whether you are a long-time devotee, you'll find the music in this 2-CD live set to be unusually creative, diverse, and fresh. If you complain that so much of today's music sounds the same, you'll ...
