Keith Jarrett - The Köln Concert - Part I (1/4)

Köln, January 24 1975

[@morlopes]

Heard it first in 1975 ( I was 13 then ). Ruptured the tape cassette... got another one.. and then another. When at last I was able, bought the LP, And when it was no longer audible bought another; recorded it on tape cassettes so I wouldn't spend time without it. When it came out on CD, of course, bought one. It became wasted from too much use on my auto. Bought another, My son got it scratched when he was very little... he now has a masters degree on piano. He also loves this album....

[@quogir1]

Peace go with you brother

[@klepetar]

same for me but it was acdc.. back in black. album.. cassette.. and 3 remixed versions of the cd.. first cd version was terrible

[@user-xk4kd5lr3w]

Flying into Frankfurt in 1976 as the Sun was coming up, I put on the earphones selecting jazz, and this is what I heard. It’s my most treasured album that I possess. Bless you Mr Jarrett. Thank you for enriching my life. ❤

[@984francis]

Brilliant, genius. I think the tuner deserves a LOT of credit because the tuning is rather good.

[@justheretolistentothemusic]

Music is time travel. This piece throws me back to when I was 29. What a strange year it was. What a time I had. Wild and hard, waves crashing, bombs falling. I let Life navigate me through it, I am here, and so is Keith music. Maybe Life is timeless after all.

[@FENicholson]

He was in back pain, exhausted from traveling by car, hungry, and playing on a broken piano. All improvised. Incredible!

[@ThierryPianoSolo]

It was not broken. You hear not a broken piano here ;)

[@FENicholson]

The pedals were broken. You can hear how he used the sounds. The tunings are off because of problems with the harp. This was not the piano that was to be used. He didn't want to use it. But decided at the last minute to go ahead. The concert was about 11 at night.

[@normanhall8435]

I have listened to this concert at least one hundred times. It is like listening to Beethoven. I am moved to tears. Like Ludvig, Keith is talking to the universe or God or whatever you want to call IT.

[@enricocapriglione1074]

It moves me, and when I listen to it, I think"Yes, there's still hope for humanity"

[@giovannifortunato6118]

Questo pianista è di una sensibilità raffinata, unica, inconfondibile. E' penetrante e struggente. L'alternarsi di alti e bassi, il prolungare o accorciare ogni nota, i tempi e gli stacchi, le variazioni del tema intorno a cui costruisce semplicemente l'infinito, fanno di questo immenso pianista jazz il più grande in assoluto di tutti i tempi. Un genio.

[@hfjjor3681]

Yes. It’s like I’ve entered into Keith’s ecstasy with him, and I am in heaven.

[@godpapa610]

私も100回以上、聴いています。 私は日本人ですがあなたと感性がとても近いと感じます。 この曲から、『悩みを突き抜けて歓喜に至れ』と言うメッセージを感じます。

[@josephhlebica5507]

Apt that you compare Beethoven since LVB was history's first concert pianist. The piano-forte was as new at that time as synthesizers we're in the 1950s-'60s. And LVB was literally an experimental improvisor in concert. Orchestras were flummoxed when he'd go off chart during play and create his music in vivo, untranscribed.

[@godpapa610]

私が学生の時に初めて聴いて、その美しさと情緒の深さに感動をしました。 あれから40年がたちますが今だに聴いていて飽きることはありません！ なんと普遍的な音楽でしょうか？ 感謝しかありません。

[@danflueras7598]

if you listen closely , light comes out of every note. amazing creation. this is extremely musical. absolutely stunning. the ups and lows , the story telling , absolutely amazing.

[@JohanKhoo]

Everytime I listen to it, it gives me goosebumps. 2 copies on LP, 2 CDs, 1 high res digital download, and on streaming, of course. All good.

[@MrFkai]

The best concert of all time for me. Keith Jarrett was possessed by a strong emotion ..

[@luigicirame]

Of course, he was actually suffering a bad back ache during the whole concert…

[@quogir1]

this not too improbable

[@amyloidosissurvivor863]

I collect music and play. This is one of my top five favorite pieces in thousands of albums I have.....first purchased in late 1975 or early 1976, so emotional for me

[@zaziezebra7782]

1975 -2024 music that won't never get old. universal melody of emotional universe

[@CamilleBauer-hr5eu]

Pur GENIOUS, Profond SOUND, Delightful!!!

[@CamilleBauer-hr5eu]

HEAVEN!!!

[@BrianShivaHaley]

Keith, you found your way right into my soul.....tears of joy....

[@yellolab09]

I was just coming to Boston to dance with a modern company when Jarrett was leaving Berklee School. Our company musicians' hair was on fire from the impact of Keith Jarrett's brief time there. This 'album', along with Belonging and Solo Concerts inspired much of our choreography. Just glimpsing the Koln album cover, and listening, transports me to that Fibonacci experience again and again. And although my 74 year old legs now have neuropathy I can't help but dance my heart out as best as I can.

[@bobh28630]

His magnificence is even with one's days getting shorter, Keith's playing allows imagination to soar and whirl in shades of new light.

I first heard it in Bogotá, Colombia in a bookshop called Buch Baum around the same time. 😊🥲

[@franciscoromero5001]

Es exacto, 1983

Sicuramente uno dei migliori concerti per pianoforte di questo grande compositore di musica jazz.

[@wildfire60]

If this was written down it would be recognized as one of the world's greatest modern compositions and be played in concert halls all across the world by the world's top pianists. Perhaps a transcription will someday be available. Just magnificent. What a genius.

[@wildfire60]

@@dominiquepeytraud406 I found it. You're right. It's amazing.

[@johnsharp71]

I fear that you are missing the point. Whether transcribed or not, this is not a 'composition' and, therefore, not a 'great' composition. It is an extraordinary performance; just accept it for what it is.

[@rbettsx]

​@@johnsharp71Totally agree. This is not a projection on to the instrument. It is an exchange with it. And not any piano. It's this one. A fixed structure would destroy the very essence of this meditation. Don't tell it what to be. Ask it what it is. Now. No. Now!... No, Now!

[@paulstein4164]

Since 1975 it has been one of my favorite jazz piano concerts...He overcame tremendous obstacles to make this concert possible that impassioned his master piano performance..!!

[@malikba8048]

I'm 62 ans I've been listening to it since I was 20. And I hope his music will never leave me

[@mariehansen4456]

Thank you Mr. Jarrett ! This is a wonderfull gift ! I wish you all the best !

[@robertspeakman3726]

I love this , I have listened to this album perhaps a hundred times over the last fifteen years it never grows old and every time I play it I am moved by his passion of play and depth of feeling ,just perfection and fabulous

[@titinostefano]

Ascoltando il pezzo in uno stato emotivo di chiusura interiore ad ogni singola nota di questa magica tessitura si riesce a raggiungere un livello ''Zen'' della propria coscienza sullo stesso piano dei piu grandi mistici cristiani dei secoli scorsi.

[@mariac5942]

[@AndyBarbosa96]

Very few musical pieces bring me to tears, this definitely is one of them. It's cathartic. Bought the guitar transcription and started studying it, decades ago. Never learnt it, never will. Luckily to have found Mr. Jarrett. A more recent artist who has a few moving and beautiful pieces is Jacob Collier. They are at another level.

Same as a talented lawyer or any orator for example Jarret can convince us to its brilliant moment.But a lawyer can't write a book and any brilliant orator won't be a Bach ever. Listening to Jarret is like to watch a genius coock but the plate once you taste it......isn't as genius anymore

I agree with the comment right above me. The longing, as though it's run through the whole human race from the beginning. This unending searching and foraging forth over hills, down valleys, round bends, this pushing, pressing on, and looking for this inarticulate speech of the heart. Jarrett speaks it.
