Finally Blue Note issues a Latin collection from its Italian (Italiana SPA) and Brazilian (EMI-Odeon) vaults that reveals the true diversity of its catalog and exploits some of the serious sensuous grooves that DJs have been spinning for over a decade. This is the first of three volumes, all of which feature the rarest most representative tracks from the various trends in jazz that grew out of Brazilian pop in the '60s, '70s, and even '80s. For starters, there's the mean brass swagger of Luis Amuda Perez on "Upa Neguinho," which was written by Edu Lobo. Besides being a popular dance tune (you can hear that in the opening measures), it is a masterpiece of Brazilian big band arrangement. Also featured is the stellar "Noa Noa," a trademark of Sergio Mendez.

The only world-class jazz vibraphonist to double on harmonica (and vice versa), Hendrik Meurkens is not only a major artist on those two instruments, but he has long had an overlapping dual career in straight ahead jazz and Brazilian music. “I’m from Hamburg, Germany, which is neither a jazz nor a Brazilian music city. It all started for me with some random records that I found in my parents’ collection. I became interested in both jazz and Brazilian music at the same time, whether it was Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson or João Gilberto. Brazilian music is so beautiful that it is hard to resist. The harmonica works very well in that style.”
