The Köln Concert
:Album Description:Limited edition Japanese pressing of the 1975 album comes packaged in an LP sleeve. ECM. 2005. 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.
