Harry Pepl, one of Austria's most original jazz guitarists, died last Monday in a Vienna hospital at age 60.

A short obituary in German can be found here.

I knew him primarily through his brilliant collaboration with vibist Werner Pirchner - they recorded several albums including one with Jack DeJohnette for ECM, and the group Air Mail, which featured some of the best Austrian players with US bassist Mike Richmond.

Thanks for your inspired playing, Harry!
