Review: Harmonica player Meurkens has proved to be a unique player with his own sound and approach. He tackles challenging material with apparent ease, coming up with fresh and very fluent statements. He has a natural inclination for seeking out beauty, for breathing harmony of color into themes and extemporizations.
