Keith Jarrett, The Köln Concert – 50 years on

I was just reminded that it was on 24th January 1975 – 50 years ago today – that pianist Keith Jarrett played a live solo concert at the Opera House in Köln, West Germany. The concert was recorded and released on ECM Records as a double LP later that year. It went on to become the best-selling solo album in jazz history and the best-selling piano album ever. It’s a must-have for anyone interested in jazz.

You don’t need me to tell you why as the whole concert is available for your listening pleasure here:
