The Koln Concert


Could this be a contender to the greatest live recording?
Recorded by Jarrett in 1975 at The Cologne Opera House it is a tour de force of solo improvised jazz piano playing. Recorded in four parts, but it is Jarrett's habit of singing 'in tongues' along with his playing just puts it off for me. Never the less, very impressive, and when the mood is right, great music to float around the house.
8.5/10
