Amazon.com essential recording
A musical chameleon, pianist Keith Jarrett was at his finest when he recorded these sustained solo improvisations in a German concert hall in 1975, the first lasting 26 minutes, the second 40. Melodies and rhythmic figures arise fluidly from his fingers as he moves from one idea to another, while his strong left hand is often used for repeated motifs that generate a rolling hypnotic power. This couples with strongly consonant harmonies to impart the flavor of gospel music at times, dance musics and Debussy at others. Above all, it's Jarrett's ability to knit all of his moods and wanderings into an almost seamless tapestry of warm and tuneful ideas that gives this music its enduring appeal. --Stuart Broomer

 The Koln Concert November 23, 2008
It's the best. My roommate from many years ago had the album. I had forgotten it until I read about the re-release recently in a review. If you want some peace and some beautiful piano jazz (sorta jazz?) Improv, buy this one.
Best Improv Jazz concert ever!!! November 16, 2008
Wall St. Jornal reviewed this as possibly the best
Improv Jazz concert ever.
For once they are right!
Overwhelming experience September 29, 2008
The Koeln concert is an overwhelming experience to listen to; every time again. With only the piano Keith Jarret touches your heart with the enourmous feeling he puts into every single sound. Don't play it as background music; is is too good for that!
Jarrett's Classical Roots September 9, 2008
Those who buy this album expecting to hear a swinging jazz pianist will be very surprised. While jazz improvisation is obviously very prominent on this recording, the entire concert has a distinctly classical mood. Absolutely beautiful.
After about 25 years July 21, 2008
..After about 25 years I've come back around to listen to the Kohln concert. It still matches the visions in my brain. What a wonderful experience -even after Bill Evens...
