MOJO magazine has recommended it as their favourite ECM album, in their 'How to Buy ECM' guide, "confirms his genius...a masterpiece." Personnel: Keith Jarrett (piano) Review: A seminal moment - There can be no doubt that Keith Jarrett is a massively gifted virtuoso pianist, one who is impossible to categorise. His improvised concerts are legendary, each totally unique and a masterpiece in its own right, and depending for its outcome on many factors - the instrument, the location, the audience, the climate and much more. Sometimes Jarrett veers off into classical and baroque themes, sometimes a touch of jazz and dixie influence, maybe some bluesy notes, often a country feel - wherever the mind of Jarrett wanders. I found it telling that another of my heroes, virtuoso guitarist Antonio Forcione, speaks with reverence about how he managed to see Jarrett play and sat spellbound for the entire evening - this being a moment in history, one not to be repeated: one man bonded totally with his instrument. For the Köln concert, the fact that he did not get his first choice of piano influenced his decision to vamp around the middle section of the keyboard, while weaving into the structure delicate melodies and beguiling harmonies. With the atmosphere you gain the thrill of being present within the recording, at the cost of slightly flawed sound quality and occasional blips in the playing. It's worth it: the fact that this is regarded as a seminal work in the history of jazz and live instrumentation says all you need to know. If you have not heard this work, do so - not a matter of like or dislike, it is one of those moments where the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end. Review: Simply ‘the best’ - Simply sublime music, purchased on CD and to be fair the resolution could be better. That does not detract from the magnificent performance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0031TWLNQ | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,436 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) 13 in Modern Post-Bebop 1,180 in Vinyl 1,993 in Pop | | Country of origin | Germany | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (2,008) | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 602527278889 | | Label | ECM Records | | Manufacturer | ECM Records | | Number of discs | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 31.29 x 31.39 x 0.79 cm; 235.87 g | ## Images ![The Koln - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/711D-rssPGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A seminal moment *by A***D on 12 January 2016* There can be no doubt that Keith Jarrett is a massively gifted virtuoso pianist, one who is impossible to categorise.

That does not detract from the magnificent performance ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful piano playing *by A***S on 27 September 2024* This CD was brought to my attention when listening to "Desert Island Disks" on BBC radio. The back story raised my interest and is well worth the research. All I can say is that given the nature of the instrument Kieth Jarrett gives a wonderful performance that deserves some concentrated listenning.
