Description
Albums that sell vast quantities are not always to be recommended. This exceptional example of solo piano is the biggest selling record in the 25 year history of the pioneering jazz label ECM. It is an almost perfect recording of the art of piano dynamics, full of emotion, and throughout the hour or so duration the listener is never bored.
Jarrett has repeated his concerts of improvisation hundreds of times, many have been recorded, and presumably, many routes of his spontaneity have led to blind alleys of jazz doodling. This is the best recorded example of the art, unlikely to be bettered.
Description
For the first time in many years The Köln Concert is being made available by ECM in double 180grams audiophile vinyl. ECM's No.1 selling album, is also the best selling solo piano album of all time. MOJO magazine has recommended it as their favourite ECM album, in their 'How to Buy ECM' guide, "confirms his genius...a masterpiece."
Personnel: Keith Jarrett (piano)
