Recorded live on January 24, 1975 at the Cologne Opera House, The Köln Concert is one of the most celebrated live recordings in music history, and one of the best-selling solo piano albums ever made. Keith Jarrett's entirely improvised performance that night produced something unrepeatable: 66 minutes of invention that defined what solo piano jazz could be. Produced by Manfred Eicher for ECM Records and originally released November 30, 1975, the album has influenced generations of pianists, composers, and listeners across jazz, classical, and beyond.
This 50th Anniversary Edition honors that legacy with a premium 2-LP pressing in a high-quality tip-on gatefold sleeve, a glued-in 8-page booklet featuring a new liner essay in both German and English, original and newly commissioned photography, and an art print bearing a photo and printed signature by Keith Jarrett himself.
