    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.

    Wire Magazine (heute The Wire), no. 50: Kritik zu „Volver“ (ECM 1343) in der Rubrik „Soundcheck“, Abschnitt „Fast Licks“

    Mike Fish

    Short review in the 50th issue of the British music magazine Wire (now The Wire), in the “Soundcheck” section under “Fast Licks”. Mike Fish reviews “Volver”, the album by the quintet of Enrico Rava (trumpet) and Dino Saluzzi (bandoneon) on ECM, the renowned European jazz label, with Harry Pepl (guitar), Furio Di Castri (bass) and Bruce Ditmas (drums). Saluzzi draws real lyricism from the bandoneon; together with Rava’s elegant trumpet and Pepl’s reverberant guitar, the result is music full of empathy and enthusiasm, and in “Minguito” the band plays very hot.

    when matched with the grandee elegance of Rava’s style, and Pepl’s reverberant guitar, the music that results has a redemptive empathy and enthusiasm

    Sometimes, as in “Minguito”, they blow very hot indeed.
