Seit geraumer Zeit unterrichtet Harvie S auch beim tirolerischen „Outreach Festival“, was die Zusammenarbeit mit dem Mastermind dieser sehr zu empfehlenden Veranstaltung, dem Trompeter Franz Hackl, recht stimmig erklärt. „Eye Contact“ gastierte bereits 2001 im P&B – damals als „Midnight Special“. Nun präsentiert der Meisterbassist sein außergewöhnliches Quintett zur „Primetime“. Welcome back! CH
