    Kurier (Vienna daily newspaper), p. 12, reviews section: „Markenzeichen Austrojazz“ (Szene Wien: Konzerte mit Miklin, Sokal, Pepl) new

    Gunther Baumann

    Review of the concerts by Karlheinz Miklin, Harry Sokal and Harry Pepl at the Szene Wien (a venue in Vienna-Simmering) in the preceding days. Pepl played with Jean-François Jenny-Clark and Daniel Humair, who according to Baumann had come to Vienna to make recordings with Sokal and Pepl; Baumann writes in hymn-like terms about Pepl’s guitar playing.

    Thrilling above all was the encounter with Harry Pepl. The guitarist works with berserker force and yet with the tenderest sensitivity.

    From a review of the concerts by Karlheinz Miklin, Harry Sokal and Harry Pepl at the Szene Wien (Vienna-Simmering) in the Kurier, a Viennese daily newspaper; Pepl played with Jean-François Jenny-Clark and Daniel Humair.

    His solos: absurdly sparkling, dark cascades of notes, cleverly interrupted by oases of chords full of strange, touching harmony.

    From a review of the concerts by Karlheinz Miklin, Harry Sokal and Harry Pepl at the Szene Wien (Vienna-Simmering) in the Kurier, a Viennese daily newspaper; Pepl played with Jean-François Jenny-Clark and Daniel Humair.

    That was intellectual and at the same time emotional avant-garde jazz.
