Der Standard (Online): „Inntöne-Festival: Session mit der Historie“
Preview of the INNtöne festival (jazz festival in Diersbach, Upper Austria). The saxophonist Clemens Salesny, the guitarist Martin Bayer, the drummer Peter Primus Frosch and the singer Agnes Heginger interpret pieces by Harry Pepl on the Saturday, improvise on them and respond to recordings that Pepl improvised for his Lonely Single Swinger Band: guitar, synthesizer, piano, vocals and drums, all recorded by himself at home. Der Standard calls this a formidable example of an engagement with history that yields “delicate results”.
There are, however, ways of engaging with history that yield delicate results. A formidable example can be experienced on Saturday at the Inntöne festival in Diersbach (which begins on Friday), when sounds by the guitarist Harry Pepl (who died in 2005) also ring out from the stage.
Guitar, synthesizer, piano, vocals, drums: Pepl once recorded everything himself at home.

Martin Gasser
Preview of the 24th Austrian Soundcheck: Viola Falb receives the fifth Harry Pepl Prize, and a homage to Pepl is to premiere on 13 November. Clemens Salesny, Martin Bayer, Peter Primus Frosch and Agnes Heginger approach the late recordings that Pepl had made single-handedly in his studio in Lower Austria as “Harry Pepl's Lonely Single Swinger Band”.
Harry Pepl was a guitarist the like of whom this country has perhaps never produced a second time.
In his recording studio in Lower Austria the musician had recorded pieces single-handedly as “Harry Pepl’s Lonely Single Swinger Band”. With drums, guitar, piano, synthesizer and voice he created, as it were, inner dialogues.
