    APA-Basisdienst (APA0621, culture): „Österreichischer Jazzgitarrist Harry Pepl 60-jährig gestorben“ (Spielte mit vielen internationalen Größen)

    APA (initials whl/cm)

    News agency report from the day of his death, Monday, 5 December 2005, 5.31 pm, on which many newspapers relied the next day. It mentions his guitar studies at the Vienna Academy of Music, his teaching in Graz from 1977 and his professorship from 1984 to 1995, the Pirchner-Pepl-JazzZwio, real-time composing and partners such as the Benny Goodman Quintet, Dave Holland, Dino Saluzzi and Michel Portal; the rector Otto Kolleritsch honours Pepl as an “exceptional figure”.

    Pepl was regarded as a musical border-crosser whose music impressed with its vitality, density and emotion.
