    Hajdú-Bihari Napló (Tageszeitung des Komitats Hajdú-Bihar, Debrecen, Hungary): Nr. 217: „Fesztivál öt napig. Összefoglaló a debreceni dzsessznapokról“

    Gábor Turi

    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.

    the virtuoso technique and perfect interplay of the guitar duo Pepl and Brkovity came as a surprise

    The online archive of the Bratislavské jazzové dni (Bratislava Jazz Days, the jazz festival in Bratislava, Slovakia) lists the programmes of the years 1979 to 2001 without dates. For 1982 it names the “Medzinárodná konkláva” (International Conclave) with C. Zelenák, K. Koch (GDR), E. Viklický, H. Pepl (Austria), J. Audes, K. Debski (Poland), V. Nikolov (Bulgaria) and “V. Lackerschmidt” (West Germany), meaning the vibraphonist Wolfgang Lackerschmid; the same year’s line-up also included the Family of Percussion, Rena Rama and the Toots Thielemans Quartet. Opus released this formation’s “St. Thomas” in 1983 on the double LP “Bratislava Jazz Days 1982”.

    Festival report by a visitor to the Bratislavské jazzové dni 1982 (Bratislava Jazz Days, jazz festival in Bratislava, Slovakia) on the specially assembled International Conclave: with Emil Viklický, who according to the report was in fact the soul of the whole ensemble, the players included Klaus Koch (double bass, GDR), Harry Pepl (guitar, Austria), Veselin Nikolov (alto saxophone, Bulgaria), Wolfgang Lackerschmid (vibraphone, printed as “Lackerschmitt” and wrongly assigned to Austria) and the Polish violinist Krzesimir Dębski (printed as “Kazimierz Debski”), whom the report singles out as the ensemble’s absolute number one.
