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.

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. 😢

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.

I am truly sorry that he’s unable to play any more. 🥲

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.

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.

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...

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.
