## Description

(2LP) Original ECM label 1975 album...a timeless and classic solo piano album of under-stated beauty.

Review: Odd, Enchanting, Brilliant - I will only mention how I came to this album as an indication of what you might expect. It was not long ago that I was listening to Bill Parker with a friend, remarking how much I enjoyed it. Knowing me as one who enjoys classical piano he said I would like Kieth Jarrett--at least the album that he had was recommended, and it was not Koln Concert. Later that night I looked him up to purchase an album and saw that this one, Koln Concert, was highly recommended and so that is the one I purchased. Initially, I found nothing objectionable, nor anything remarkable. I found it, actually, a bit like Windham Hill artists such as George Winston or something. I found it very pleasant to play while reading, which I do a lot, so it was played over and over quite often. In doing so I started to find the genius of this Jarrett and these songs to become manifest, even quite moving. There are some parts, in fact, that I found quite profound, and this played nicely against the occasional stride piano reminiscent of Winston. Frankly, I don't know where to place this album as we so often want to do; what category of music is it? I know such questions are banal and shouldn't matter, but it does at least help up to make decisions on a purchase. So, the best I can say, is that it has moments that are a quiet jazz -- I don't even know the sub-genre. There are many moments that might appeal to those who like certain composers such as Phillip Glass or even Satie, and certainly moments that may remind one of George Winston. So yes, this album deserves the accolades. I think other listeners more adept in Jarrett's work might be able to offer a more nuanced review, but, if like me, you are new to Jarrett I hope this helps.
Review: Excellent CD - This is a master at the peak of his abilities. There are not many jazz solos of this length and for very good reasons. The works are essentially composed and performed extemporaneously. This makes them extraordinarily difficult. Aside from the mental exertion over a long period of time, it takes an equally long intellectual effort. To be of a high emotional and intellectual value it therefore requires an artist to be at his or her absolute peak in terms of expertise, mental facility, and physical prowess. The Koln concert came at that particular high point in Keith Jarrett's life If you have never heard this session before, you are in for a treat. If you purchase this disc ane play it you will find yourself going back to it often. I have bought a number of copies over the years on vinyl, on cassette, and on CD. I keep giving copies to friends.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Kind of Magic
*by D***S on June 22, 2000*

I was one of the few who discovered Jarrett's solo work through recordings other than this one (I first heard "Concerts" and "Solo Concerts" many, many years ago and only discovered this one about two years ago), and for that reason it took a little longer for me to really understand and appreciate it...not because it lacks anything, but only because other Jarrett works held a special place in my heart. Now, as my appreciation of all of Jarrett's masterful recordings has increased, I can appreciate this, the Cologne Concert, for what it is: A transcendant piece of music in its own right, unique from all the others. The story of its creation is remarkable: Jarrett was forced to play on an inferior piano with weak high and low ranges...as a result he concentrated on the midrange, accentuating that particular instrument's potential and creating music that sounds unlike anything else he's ever done. I initially thought it was "lighter" in texture than his other solo work (particularly the two mentioned above), now I realize that it simply speaks a different language. I think that hard-core Jarrett fans tend to regard this album with just a bit of suspicion, precisely because it has enjoyed such continuing popularity. This, of course, is nonsense: Just because this particular album enjoys mass appeal doesn't take anything away from it, and it is not this album's fault that it has spawned a score of imitations from lesser artists. The "bottom line" is that this album contains a special quality, a "magic" that transforms it into music for the ages. From the opening expression (listen for the barely-audible sound of a woman's laughter right after the first five notes) "the Cologne Concert" captures something mystical, and beyond explanation. If this is your first exposure to Keith Jarrett, I envy your voyage of discovery. Just don't let it stop here.
