Harry Pepl / Werner Pirchner "JazzZwio" - 1977/80/83

Here's a compilation of four shows by the legendary duo of Harry Pepl and Werner Pirchner.
Pepl died much too early in 2005. Check out the nice photo gallery on Pirchner's website, dedicated to his late friend.

These were shared by a kind seeder over on dime, who's a big fan of Pepl. The music is indeed pretty good, and I urge you to check it out, even if you have never heard Pepl or Pirchner's name!
(I urge you even more as I'm consciously slowing down my posting tempo, hoping to allow people to get more of the music and actually find time to digest it, too!)
