    Raiffeisenzeitung (p. 24, Freizeit): „Salut to Jimi Hendrix“

    Manfred Horak

    Interview with the guitarist Harri Stojka about his album “Salut to Jimi Hendrix”. Looking back on the 1970s, Stojka counts Harry Pepl, with Erich Kleinschuster, Fritz Pauer and Erich Bachträgl, among the outstanding musicians of the Austrian jazz scene of the time, with which his rock band had little contact.

    The San Diego Union-Tribune (Online): „Austrian jazz guitar star Wolfgang Muthspiel jazzed about pending San Diego debut concert“

    George Varga

    Interview with Wolfgang Muthspiel ahead of his first concert in San Diego. Asked about Austrian role models, he names, besides Joe Zawinul, his teacher Harry Pepl: an important guitarist with a sound of his own, a heavy player with a great sense of time, to him an international figure with his own voice.

    There was also an important guitar player by the name of Harry Pepl, who was my teacher. He had a unique sound and was a heavy player, with a great sense of time.

    Wolfgang Muthspiel

    I think he was an international figure and definitely had his own voice.

    mica music austria (Online): „Uns geht es darum, Gegensätze in unserer Musik zu manifestieren.“ (Raphael Preuschl, Fabulous Austrian Trio, im mica-Interview)

    Michael Ternai

    Interview with the bassist Raphael Preuschl on the 20th anniversary of the Fabulous Austrian Trio with Alex Machacek and Herbert Pirker. Speaking of Machacek's guitar playing, he says it seeks to lift the limits of a string instrument, and recalls Harry Pepl's piece “Man könnte Klavierspielen müssen”.

    Harry Pepl once wrote the song ‘Man könnte Klavierspielen müssen’. I believe it is Alex's intention to lift the limitation of a string instrument and to take on the polyphonic freedom of a keyboard instrument.
