About

- A TAV Essential Listening Album -

Recorded as one continuous concert at the Cologne Opera House in 1975, this hour-long solo improvisation by Pennsylvanian pianist Keith Jarrett became nothing short of legendary - and the best-selling piano record in history. Indulgent and esoteric, but also transformative and spiritual - The Köln Concert features Miles Davis' and Art Blakey’s former keyboardist at his most audacious and unrestrained.

As much jazz as it was classical and pop, Jarrett brought the poorly-tuned piano he was provided to life with mutating passages and marvellous turns that provided the listener with an immersive glimpse to the piano maestro’s train of thought in real-time. Built upon repeating meditative motifs and hypnotically rhythmic sequences, this live performance was divine inspiration manifested. - The Analog Vault
