KEITH JARRETT The Köln Concert 1975 ECM US 1st Pressing Gatefold 1064/65 2xLP Jazz
DESCRIPTION
The Köln Concert is one of the most important solo piano recordings ever released and a cornerstone of the ECM catalog. Recorded live at the Opera House in Cologne on January 24, 1975, the performance captures Keith Jarrett in a moment of spontaneous brilliance, transforming limitations into one of the best-selling and most celebrated jazz albums of all time.
The music unfolds across four extended improvisations, balancing lyricism, rhythmic drive, and emotional depth. Jarrett’s melodic instincts and dynamic control are fully on display, making this record essential for collectors of ECM, solo piano, and modern jazz.
This copy is a confirmed first U.S. pressing on ECM Records, manufactured and distributed by Polydor Incorporated. It features the correct green ECM labels, gatefold jacket, original ECM poly-lined inner sleeves, and hand-etched matrix numbers on all four sides. Vinyl presents very well overall, with one disc showing slightly more handling than the other but still playing clean.
