Harald “Harry” Pepl was born in Vienna on 10 September 1945 and grew up in Floridsdorf, Vienna’s 21st district north of the Danube. Vienna remained occupied by the four Allies until 1955; in his childhood his father whistled him the jazz standards played on the occupation radio. Through the American stations, the Rot-Weiß-Rot network and the forces’ radio Blue Danube Network, young Viennese heard jazz and swing on a large scale for the first time. The Frankfurter Allgemeine mistakenly gives 1944.
