Meurkens" ability to mirror the full range of emotion by drawing upon the passionate characteristics of his harmonica is the bedrock of his relationship with Brazilian music and an important insight into his creativity. Dig This Samba" was recorded as part of a live session for radio broadcasting at Saarlandischer Rundfunk in Saarbrucken, Germany over a period of three short days and finds both Meurkens and pianist Manfredo Fest in top form. Each of the eleven songs on this album is a true gem, carved from a moment of inspiration that only the notion of the two distinct worlds of Brazil and jazz could provide.
