    initials „A“

    Report on the international response to “Cracked Mirrors” with Herbert Joos and Jon Christensen and to the LP “Volver” with Dino Saluzzi and Enrico Rava. Appearances at Scandinavian festivals and concerts in Japan are announced for the following year. Pepl says he began playing without any concrete idea of the sound.

    His new album “Cracked Mirrors”, recorded with Herbert Joos and Jon Christensen, has caught the attention of international critics.

    Fanfare (US-Magazin für Plattenkritik): Kritik zu „Volver“ (ECM 1343), Fanfare Band 12, Nr. 1

    Edward Strickland

    In Fanfare, the American record review magazine, the critic Edward Strickland reviews the ECM album “Volver” by Enrico Rava and Dino Saluzzi. Rava’s contribution to the title track is appropriately subdued, his muted trumpet briefly recalling Miles Davis; Pepl’s guitar adds a great deal to the mood, and the support from Furio Di Castri (bass) and Bruce Ditmas (drums) is understated and exemplary. He recommends the record.
