    Festival review from Raab with Dr. John, Ray Anderson and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Beyond the nostalgic acts, Tošić singles out the live session of Jack DeJohnette (drums and piano) and Harry Pepl.

    Drummer and pianist Jack DeJohnette and guitarist Harry Pepl, for instance, gave a live session there.

    after all, there were moments of intensity that one would not have wanted to miss on any account

    Kronen Zeitung (p. 17): Kurzkritik vom Innviertler Jazzfestival in Raab

    initials „CT“ (vermutlich Chris Thommark)

    Report from the third day (Sunday, 22 May 1994) of the Innviertel jazz festival in the Rothuberhalle in Raab: Jack DeJohnette spontaneously joins Idris Muhammad’s Afro Beat and later plays a duo with Pepl, who holds dialogues on guitar synthesizer with DeJohnette on piano and drums.

    Alternating between piano and drums, he engaged in dialogues with Harry Pepl on guitar synthesizer.

    These were sound meditations between expansive and concentrated, in lyrical solitude and orchestral fullness of sound.
