Description
Recorded in 1975 on a less-than-ideal Bösendorfer at the Cologne Opera House, Manfred Eicher rolling tape for ECM. Keith Jarrett's The Koln Concert turns limitation into flow, and you hear it in the first minutes of Part I. The left-hand vamp keeps circling while his right hand finds a bright, singing line that seems to invent its own harmony. Later, Part II a relaxes into a lilt, and Part II c jumps into those gospel-steeped cadences everyone ends up humming. This 2LP pressing opens the room around the piano, and the imaging feels truer to the hall. Creaks, soft pedal thuds, and his faint vocal whoops sit in natural perspective rather than crowding the keys. If you’d rather order from home, you can buy Keith Jarrett records online with us. File it next to Bill Evans for introspection, while its spacious ECM 70s aura suits quiet night listening in Melbourne. However many editions you’ve known, this cut gives more air and cleaner transients without bleaching the piano’s warmth. A solo statement that rewards front-to-back plays and still surprises decades on.
Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
