    Diário de Lisboa: „Editoras discográficas independentes. Dargil: democracia do gosto em Portugal“

    Rui Eduardo Paes

    Two-page report in the arts section of the Lisbon daily on Dargil, the independent Portuguese record label and importer run by José Correia Mendes. Rui Eduardo Paes calls ECM, the renowned European jazz label, the jewel of its catalogue and presents as the most recent examples “Volver” by Enrico Rava and Dino Saluzzi and the quartet of Paul Bley. In “Volver” he hears a direct, perhaps too direct, reference to the Argentine tango innovator Astor Piazzolla and highlights the guitar of Harry Pepl, a “neophyte” (the inverted commas are the author’s) who is already surprising half the world. On page 25 Correia Mendes explains Dargil’s order quantities using Keith Jarrett and Harry Pepl as examples.

    Also worth highlighting on the record is the guitar of Harry Pepl, a “neophyte” who is already surprising half the world.

    Billboard (US-Musikfachzeitschrift mit den Branchen-Charts, gegründet 1894): Album Reviews, Jazz-Fusion: „Werner Pirchner / Harry Pepl / Jack DeJohnette“ (Recommended)

    In its issue of Saturday, 16 March 1985 (vol. 97, no. 11), Billboard, the US music trade magazine founded in 1894 and home of the industry’s leading charts, reviews the ECM album (ECM 1237, via PolyGram Special Imports) on p. 66 in its Album Reviews under Jazz-Fusion and rates it “Recommended”, Billboard’s label for new releases the editors expect to chart in their format and for albums of superior quality. The unsigned capsule review calls Pirchner a mallet stylist, Pepl an acoustic guitarist and DeJohnette a timemaster, and describes a delicate, mood-rich chamber jazz record that recalls the strongest early productions in this vein by Manfred Eicher, founder and producer of ECM. At the same time, DownBeat presented the album on a full page in its April 1985 issue; this has its own entry in the press archive.
