The Koln Concert – the groundbreaking recording of Keith Jarrett’s improvised solo concert at the Cologne opera
house – has attained legendary status since its 1975 release. An iconic album and an essential document of the
era, few live recordings in any idiom have been celebrated as widely. In the liner essay included in the 50th
Anniversary Edition of the album, the concert’s context is outlined in detail. Recorded on January 24, 1975 and
originally released on November 30 the same year, The Koln Concert was produced by Manfred Eicher. For the
50th anniversary, the special edition 2-LP is released in a high-quality tip-on-gatefold sleeve with a glued-in, 8-page
booklet featuring a new liner essay in German and English, as well as original and new photos. Includes an art print
with a photo and printed signature by Keith Jarrett.
