All About Jazz (US-Jazzmagazin im Internet, gegründet 1995): „Wolfgang Schalk: Wanted“
Mark F. Turner
Review of the album “Wanted” (Frame Up Music, 2008) by the guitarist Wolfgang Schalk from Styria, Austria, in All About Jazz, the US online jazz magazine founded in 1995, with 4 out of 5 stars. Schalk recorded the album in Los Angeles, USA, with Geoffrey Keezer (piano), Dave Carpenter (bass) and Marvin “Smitty” Smith (drums). Mark F. Turner singles out the moving ballad “And Harry Said Goodbye”, which Schalk dedicated to Harry Pepl; he calls Pepl a European guitar master and one of Schalk’s influences. Schalk’s tone and phrasing on this piece are delicate and warm.
There’s also moving balladry as heard on the emotive “And Harry Said Goodbye,” dedicated to another Schalk influence, European guitar master, Harry Pepl.
From the review of Wolfgang Schalk’s album “Wanted” (2008); the guitarist from Styria, Austria, dedicated the ballad to Harry Pepl, who had died in 2005
