Review of the 8th Debrecen Jazz Days 1979 (“Festival for five days”): four venues, ten concerts, three jam sessions, more than twenty ensembles and 7,000 visitors, organised by the radio together with the Kölcsey Ferenc cultural centre. Turi divides the performers into three groups according to their performance and places the guitar duo Pepl and Brkovity in the top group, alongside Ganelin, Mirrors, Gusztáv Csík, the duo Viklický and Andršt and Jasper van ’t Hof; he highlights the duo’s virtuoso technique and perfect interplay.
