I used to play this all the time when my wife was pregnant with our first child. After he was born we discovered that when he was upset/crying we could play this to him and he would instantly calm down. it is just beautiful. definitely one of my desert island discs.
I am from Cologne and was lucky to attend this concert. Met a friend before we went in and smoked some of his Pot. And then I experienced the unexpected, a magical night to remember...
My husband loved this and introduced me to Keith Jarrett over 40 years ago. I’m now playing it to him on his pillow in hospital as they don’t expect him to last the night. When I turned it on, the colour slowly came to his face and he was breathing a little better. 😢
Same like me 40 years ago , think he is about 62 in age,,, these Song can be Love, laughter 😊 and 😢illusion and desillusion its a story of live , with down and ups... it works 40 years ago ,,and also now
I heard this for the first time in 1982 and I was very much in love and this Concert mixed with love was heavenly. It still is and I relive that love often.
Piano music was ruined for me by several years of punishment detail in my parents' front room being made to do my piano practice. My interest in music was redeemed initially by pop and then folk music, but it was listening to Keith Jarrett 'by accident' (when I found his Koln concern LPs left in a cupboard by a previous tenant) as a student that I gained a love for the piano, which listening to this always rekindles. I have now listened this on vinyl, tape, new vinyl, CD, download and now streaming. Whatever comes next I will still be listening to his magic and mystery. Thank you.
***** Dziękuję Janku z serca! Bardzo lubię słuchać tego koncertu, a szczególnie gdzieś od momentu 7.18. Slucham tego od lat. Czasami tak bywa, że coś nam wpadnie do duszy i juz tam gra swoje historie ☺Pozdrawiam Janku rzeskimi kropelkami cieplutkiego, serdecznego deszczyku, z którym już słońce zaczyna spory ☀🌁
I have heard now this work, over 70 times! For the first time I have introduced it to my piano lab students here at New City Kids: Jersey City. They are in awe!!!!
...triumph over adversity...on this january 24, 1975 gig in cologne, he hadn't slept for 24 hours...the bosendorfer piano that was consigned to him was audibly substandard that he had to steer clear of its tinny high notes & confine his playing to the middle register...he resorted to predominately vamping & improvising just to fight off sleep...& the upshot was majestically hypnotic & otherworldly...
And to think this was recorded only to forward to other venues to tell them how NOT to prepare for him coming to perform. If the conditions were not so horrible this might never have gotten recorded.
I heard this ion the radio for the first time in my life today while painting, my childrens playhouse :) I just floated away , it was beautyful and incredible :) Love to go to a concert with him here in Norway :)
There is music that we hear with our ears and our heads. There is music that we hear with our ears and it touches our hearts. This amazing work by one man does both. I feel what he does, I feel his pain, I feel his joy. astonishing!
Absolument sublime, je me lasse pas d'écouter ce morceau de jarrett depuis 1980 ,( il a été le générique d'une émission dédiée au cinéma diffusée chaque mardi le soir au cinéma à la radio marocaine 1978-....)
This is one of the greatest stream of conciousness / musical genius strokes ever recorded by any artist( classical, jazz...). Thanks Keith. Just hear how it goes from 16:20 slowly to that heaven climax melody at 16:54 and then again around 19:32. I can't explain the inspiration he had improvising (?) this...
This is the 1st album that I listened to by Keith. A young lady gave it to me to listen to. I was playing for her dance classes. Apparently I wasn’t giving her the vibe she was looking for, so she gave me this album to listen to. I’ve been listening to him ever since. I have ALL of his works. I am truly sorry that he’s unable to play any more. 🥲
Been a while since I owned the vinyl of this. Lost it during the Storage Wars of the 1980's. I've decided to try to re-live a pleasant moment from my past and seek out this masterpiece in CD. Except I'm not going to order it over the internet. I'm going to hunt it down the old fashioned way; by scouring the earth (and every book store) until I find it on a shelf. Wish me luck.
Incredibly nice find there. Though I could likely find the CD on line, I want to continue to search for that one obscure record store (in much the way I did so during the 70's). Thanks.
I received the LP and it's really a masterpiece. I wish you good luck. In fact I also love to scout for records in old style. This weekend there's an LP & record market in my town and I'm gonna dive into piles of LPs as when I was a child ;-)
I've never listened to solo pianists. Never cared for jazz, but a guy at a conference gave a speech about how we need to break out of our comfort zones in order to really reach our potential. He gave the story about Keith Jarrett's Koln concert as a shining example of creating despite having everything working against him. He told us about how this recording was supposed to be an example of how NOT to prepare for his performances, but it's the best selling solo pianist album in history. I thought the story was fascinating and checked this out. Again, I've never cared for jazz or solo piano... but I found myself starting to tear up at around the 7:30 mark. It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. I can't make it loud enough.
I just heard the back story to this concert and the horrible piano on NPR. I thought, "I better TH-cam this Jarrett guy and see what kind of music he plays." Wow! I'm forever changed and will play this loudly throughout my home. Knowing what obstacles he faced this day makes it all the more lovely.
20:23... ahhhh those chords!!! Incredible music.. this was my first introduction to him way back when... I think a former house mate had it on the turntable (ah, I am dating myself now, so old... lol) non-stop... very conducive to a snowy day here in the east. Thank you this gift of music!!!
Whenever I hear this I fall into a kind of meditative state of mind; it has been proven by neuropsychospecialists, that the Köln Concert stimulates our brain where we can come down, relax, meditate, be at peace. however, you can hear it while driving...or cooking...or just breathing away. one of my favorite remedies for all Kinds of blues.
Beautiful piano piece! Keith's creative search for the devine notes here is pure magic. A little odd though with all the "promo" pictures of Steinway grands when the Köln concert in fact was played on a Bösendorfer, but hey, I'm sure the people at Bösendorfer is as grand as their instruments...
I finally got it! A lot of 1980-bons went into playing this great master peace! A fucking shipwreck it was, what they did! Keith's Koln Concert was better than the bible! I meant the ORIGINAL!
Fantastic sounds and phrasing... I love the way it makes me feel... Adding at 5.04, he deals with the ping, accepting every piano has its own character, by 7 minutes love arrives, his warmed up and going with the flow....
And all because he was convinced to play an unplayable piano by a German teenager in the rain. You can even hear the struggles in hitting the notes, and the wonderful improvisations that came with them. Thanks TED Talks.
Уже сорок лет снова и снова слушаю эту волшебную ритмичную импровизацию и не могу насытиться! Тонко, красиво и эмоционально. Это апофеоз творчества Кита Джарретта. Браво!
As someone who has used Jarrett's music as a real life soundtrack, I especially appreciate the way Koln essentially relieved him of the need to "sing for his supper", going viral after far superior ECM works in Facing You and Bremen/Laussane failed to garner game changing commercial success. It certainly has the ability to draw the listener in on first encounter but, unlike so many of his other works, it doesn't demand repeated listening, lacking the melodic invention and depth typical of so many of his other solos, and relying too heavily on the repetitive and overly long pop coda to provide resolution, a "cop out" he was never to repeat (But I suspect he felt pressure as a fledgling solo artist to keep that sold out audience happy). Having prospered as a result of Koln, he has never again appeared to feel the need to keep audiences superficially "happy", as I can attest having been part of a crowd in Melbourne in the late 70s, I think at Dallas Brooks Hall, which was chastened for having the temerity to ask for more when he wasn't in the mood. It's still worth the occasional listen, primarily for historical purposes, but I personally would struggle to rank it in my Jarrett top 30. Mind you, had it not happened most of that top 30 probably wouldn't exist. Incidentally the recent release, A Multitude of Angels, his 4 final extended solos, is already in my top ten, with a bullet, and I suppose I can thank Koln for that.
It's marvellous. I've just found and bought the vinyl récord on Internet. Looking forward to receiving it end enjoying at my HIFI at home (should it sound marvellous at my Monitor Audio column speakers ;-)
Woooooow. I've listen several times and everyone is better than before as you catch new tones you had lost before. Actually, one of the very best jewels you must have next to your HIFI (perfect for a peaceful Sunday evening with a nice 12 years old Islay Scotch ;-)
so unusual, yet familiar, so edgy, yet soft, so unique, yet simple, so faultless, yet continuously and ever surprising as if he was playing out of his mind....so Keith
non lo riascoltavo da almeno 20 anni. ringrazio un amico che mi ha fatto ricordare di questa grande bellezza in forma di frequenze in un infinito gioco di nuvole cirri e cumuli e pensieri che ora anche il mio amico ascolterà
That same year of 1975 I heard Keith play in Montreal with Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and (I think) Paul Motian. Such music they played. Where did 40 years go? I can scarcely believe it's been so long.
Something interesting happened. It just seemed like everybody in the audience was there for a tremendous experience, and that made my job easy. What happened with this piano was that I was forced to play in what was - at the time - a new way. Somehow I felt I had to bring out whatever qualities this instrument had. And that was it. My sense was, “I have to do this. I’m doing it. I don’t care what the f*** the piano sounds like. I’m doing it.” And I did. KJ.
Yes i think he said that because there is a story with this particular piano for this concert. In fact i heard he was quite upset because the piano was not what he wanted for the concert. He was expecting an other piano and so was a bit angry. But despite of that, i think we can say that he made quite a good performance..
A fantastic concert and represents the music on the page. A great journey to be taken on, even if you don't play piano you can learn from his sounds! He is a real Master.
of the scores of jarrett's solo improvisations available, the extraordinary opening half-hour of his famed koln concert is as approachable and rewarding as any.
este concerto em Colonia foi ao sabor do improviso, entrou no palco sem saber o que tocar, de proposito, e saiu esta maravilha, composição de genio ao vivo, maravilhoso.
..I knew a guy from Korea who told me about all the stuff in classic european music..he died from a lung problem in Amsterdam. RIP him! His name was David Hogenbirk. Good pianist and pretty sophisticated on pedagogie..Early death killed him..hope you will make it to the stars..David!
Previas improvisaciones Bremen/Lausanne fueron brillantes, igual que los posteriores Sun Bear Concerts, pero Koln es especial. Solamente por esta obra KJ ya está en la historia de la música. PS los mencionados son conciertos excepcionales: una improvisación live es riesgosa & polémica. Si el intérprete no está inspirado, busca con desesperación una idea y se fatiga él propiamente y fatiga a la audiencia.
+ Obasi Kamau Sir, please, never over the kingdom or your salvation to anybody ! Enjoy the music and love the Lord Jesus , your God, from all your heart ! Blessings from Germany
Who made the decision that the person with the name Jesus is a Lord? And which God? In Heaven? Where is this heaven? Science have proven all this believers wrong. Dream on ...
Once the organ player in my rock band said to me that this was tinkling. I asked if he was serious about this and he assured me. Some months later our talk happened to hit this subject again, maybe I was teasing him. His eyes sunk and looking the floor he said almost with an almost unhearably soft voice, sounding ashamed: "I've bought the score." He was a superbly trained church organ player and usually didn't need any score at all, playing Bach and Buxtehude by memory and ear, and quite arrogant about it. I can't figure out what must have happened to him between these two talks about the Cologne concert.

One of the most precious things human kind has ever captured
I heard this for the first time in 1982 and I was very much in love and this Concert mixed with love was heavenly. It still is and I relive that love often.

wow... cupboard by a previous tenant! that's a story. :)
Gems are found in unusual places 😊.
Cela fait des années que je l'écoute,et à chaque fois,ça fait comme une première fois!!!
... je ne m'en lasserai jamais.
Merci depuis 35 ans et plus ...
Every January on the anniversary of the Koln concert I pull out my cd of it and listen. Wonderful
+R. Daw Isn't it wonderful.
+R. Daw The story behind the record is also amazing. If that girl did not record the concert for herself, we cannot be listening it today.
+R. Daw itts great ...., I do the same on vinyl.
+Miklin Wish I had it on vinyl. I have a stereo at home my parents bought back in 1962. Still works great, though it needs a new needle.
+Miklin I wish i had a vinyl
This is so beautiful it touches my soul.
it's my favourite piece ...and most beautiful!!!

+26gosia ciesze sie, ze polubilas Keitha . Ja kocham jego muzyke od lat, rozmawia ze mna. Pobudza mnie do podrozy do wiadomo i do nikad. Bo skad.
Krasno!+1
+26gosia - your taste is perfect!
Halloween
thank you :)
I cannot stop listening. The first notes are like honey for my heart.
É vdd 😊
初代ホンダレジェンドのCM曲ですね。
やっと見つけることができました。
アップして下さった方、有難うございます。
1985年から探し続けて、ようやく曲名とアーティストを確認できました。
感謝です。
One of the most complex and beautiful compositions ever written. Thank you Keith Jarrett.
I last listened to this probably over 30 years ago! IOvercome by waves of chills; electric goosebumps up and down my arms!!!! WOW!!!
I have heard now this work, over 70 times! For the first time I have introduced it to my piano lab students here at New City Kids: Jersey City. They are in awe!!!!
First time I listened to this was 1995. Almost 30 years later it’s still one of my favorites.

um prazer, senhora... my pleasure, sir...
😺😻
... And he was suffering from major (chronic) back problems ... Also, there was a problem with the stage ...
... and something about having bad Italian food ...
And to think this was recorded only to forward to other venues to tell them how NOT to prepare for him coming to perform.
If the conditions were not so horrible this might never have gotten recorded.
This is absolutely the most beautiful piece of music,I saw him in Toronto few years back,awesome.Himself,Gary Peacock,Jack DeJohnette.
I heard this ion the radio for the first time in my life today while painting, my childrens playhouse :) I just floated away , it was beautyful and incredible :) Love to go to a concert with him here in Norway :)

I can imagine the freedom swaying with his hands and soul. People should have the liberation sense of mind like him, beautiful!
just perfect... after all this years... love it. Thanks...

Sublime, j'adorais et j'adore encore !!!! Pour bien commencer la journée.
The opening few notes of this always sends a shiver down my spine
The opening notes G D C G A are the Koln intermission notes..that's why they laughed. But sometimes it's not the notes, it's the way you play them. (:
Ohh didn't know that... great fact!
I do not know much about piano music. But when I heard this the first time I shivered.
I knew that I was listening to music history ...
It’s the best piano inprovisation in jazz history.
Pure....., from the first to the last note.
Been a while since I owned the vinyl of this. Lost it during the Storage Wars of the 1980's. I've decided to try to re-live a pleasant moment from my past and seek out this masterpiece in CD.

I've just found in a German shop (scouting on line) a perfect and even still sealed not-open 1975 vinyl LP. Good luck!
Incredibly nice find there. Though I could likely find the CD on line, I want to continue to search for that one obscure record store (in much the way I did so during the 70's). Thanks.

Can't get better than that. Thank you Keith JARRETT
Only Keith Jarrett could pull this off! It has so much depth, emotion and meaning. I know every note

24.01.1975 - 2015.
The first forty years - thank you, Maestro...
Hace cuarenta años los escuche por primera vez...y sigo bendiciendo a Marianna por haberme tocado el alma con este concierto.
It´s perfect! Always an inspiration!
What a dream to maybe one day , play with him , this song is better than everything
Heard for the last time somewhere in the '80s.........brilliant!
Esta musica es espiritualménte, lo maximo que he oido.Hacía tiempo que no la escuchaba, el concierto de Colonia de Keith Jarrett. UNICO¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
ineguagliabile, intimo, dolce, struggente, blues, adrenalinico, unico, grazie Mr Keith
Uma das melhores obras musicais que apareceu no mundo!... Fantastic!!...Brillante, Belíssimo!...
Whenever I hear this I fall into a kind of meditative state of mind;
it has been proven by neuropsychospecialists, that the Köln Concert stimulates our brain where we can come down, relax, meditate, be at peace. however, you can hear it while driving...or cooking...or just breathing away. one of my favorite remedies for all Kinds of blues.

thank you....no more words
Straordinario!... Da anni questo pezzo mi accompagna e commuove...
I finally got it!
A lot of 1980-bons went into playing this great master peace!
A fucking shipwreck it was, what they did!
Keith's Koln Concert was better than the bible!
I meant the ORIGINAL!
Fantastic sounds and phrasing... I love the way it makes me feel... Adding at 5.04, he deals with the ping, accepting every piano has its own character, by 7 minutes love arrives, his warmed up and going with the flow....
merci . J'ai pu l'entendre . Un plaisir .
And all because he was convinced to play an unplayable piano by a German teenager in the rain. You can even hear the struggles in hitting the notes, and the wonderful improvisations that came with them.
Thanks TED Talks.
that brought me here too
There's a TED Talk on this? Cool, I need to find it! This is a longtime favorite of mine.
The searching from 20:00 that leads to a finding at 21:15 .... that's what to me makes this piece transcendental
Beautiful! Again and again and again...
same to me. a good companion for decades
Уже сорок лет снова и снова слушаю эту волшебную ритмичную импровизацию и не могу насытиться! Тонко, красиво и эмоционально. Это апофеоз творчества Кита Джарретта. Браво!
+Александр ПетроченковYou right! Never enough of his music,can't stop listening
My desert island disc. Sublime. If I had a time machine I'd go back and buy a front row ticket.
nothing else to say.....it's so beautiful it makes me cry....
+Miranda Diboll It would be different then, because this is not possible to repeat ... You would have 2 different Koln concerts ... Lucky you !!!

Simply Incredible Music.....Awesome
so unusual, yet familiar, so edgy, yet soft, so unique, yet simple, so faultless, yet continuously and ever surprising as if he was playing out of his mind....so Keith
finally a version thats not by fucking Tomasz Trzciński...
Its not the same - nothing can copy that original sound. Such beauty.
non lo riascoltavo da almeno 20 anni. ringrazio un amico che mi ha fatto ricordare di questa grande bellezza in forma di frequenze in un infinito gioco di nuvole cirri e cumuli e pensieri che ora anche il mio amico ascolterà

Still gives me chills!

50 and plus trad,suis encore transported par votre mystique....
So much music in this.
I had to stop everything I was doing , fill up my cup and let this entrance me on this cold winter morning.The next half hour is all mine.
thanks excellent, good quality
j'aime depuis si longtemps. ..
je n'oublie jamais pas
Immortal. How complex, made it simple. Tension to anticipate all the notes keeps you not to breath
..Keith will always be one of my finest teachers..
Nice pics, though it's worth noting the Koln Concert was performed on a Bosendorfer not a Steinway.
Still MAGNIFICENT after nearly 40 years. I say "nearly" because the anniversary date is only 17 days away.
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
magic!!!
On a really nice tuned old Boesendorfer Grand Piano...
cannot stop listening!
dei ricordi lontani nel tempo e legati a questo disco rimangono nella mente indelebili
thanks for posting! I also have the transcription for classical guitar made by barrueco. keith is great
Superbe . Cette musique est utilisé par Nanni Moretti dans son film( génial) Journal intime . Merci à ces deux grands talents
magia, inspiração e transcendência... desde a primeira audição. Mr. Jarret tank you.
Truly, truly magnificent.
este concerto em Colonia foi ao sabor do improviso, entrou no palco sem saber o que tocar, de proposito, e saiu esta maravilha, composição de genio ao vivo, maravilhoso.
Yours seems to be the best sounding. Would love to hear pt 2
..I knew a guy from Korea who told me about all the stuff in classic european music..he died from a lung problem in Amsterdam. RIP him! His name was David Hogenbirk. Good pianist and pretty sophisticated on pedagogie..Early death killed him..hope you will make it to the stars..David!
Cette pièce, c'est un petit miracle!!!
Magical sounds for the soul thank you sir peace to you.
Previas improvisaciones Bremen/Lausanne fueron brillantes, igual que los posteriores Sun Bear Concerts, pero Koln es especial. Solamente por esta obra KJ ya está en la historia de la música. PS los mencionados son conciertos excepcionales: una improvisación live es riesgosa & polémica. Si el intérprete no está inspirado, busca con desesperación una idea y se fatiga él propiamente y fatiga a la audiencia.
I offer my kingdom to hear him live...............

Sir, please, never over the kingdom or your salvation to anybody !
Enjoy the music and love the Lord Jesus , your God, from all your heart !

So you offer basically nothing

And which God? In Heaven? Where is this heaven? Science have proven all this believers wrong.

Recorded live at the opera in Köln, Germany, January 24, 1975. 40 years ago.. waw!
Once the organ player in my rock band said to me that this was tinkling. I
asked if he was serious about this and he assured me.
Some months later our talk happened to hit this subject again, maybe I
was teasing him. His eyes sunk and looking the floor he said almost with
an almost unhearably soft voice, sounding ashamed: "I've bought the score."
He was a superbly trained church organ player and usually didn't need
any score at all, playing Bach and Buxtehude by memory and ear, and quite arrogant about it.
I can't figure out what must have happened to him between these two
talks about the Cologne concert.
