In 1994 Harry Pepl played one of his last concert series with an international line-up: the French double bassist Hélène Labarrière, the New York drummer Gene Jackson and Wolfgang Mitterer on synthesizer. Among other places, the group performed in Kyiv (Ukraine), probably in Slovakia, in Graz, there with Wolfgang Puschnig on saxophone, and at Porgy & Bess in Vienna. No recording has survived. After that Pepl appeared live only once more, in autumn 1997 at the festival in Raab, today's INNtöne.1
In 1994 Porgy & Bess, which had opened in 1993, gave Pepl a three-day solo series; on one of the evenings he played with Mitterer.2 Mitterer's own chronology also names Gene Jackson for Porgy & Bess and the trombonist Paul Zauner for Kyiv.3 As early as July 1994 the Kronen Zeitung had listed a quartet with Puschnig, Labarrière and Jackson among Pepl's projects.4
