The Köln Concert – the groundbreaking recording of Keith Jarrett’s improvised solo concert at the Cologne opera house – has attained legendary status since its release in 1975. 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 LP, the concert’s context is outlined in detail. Recorded on 24 January 1975 and originally released on November 30th the same year, The Köln 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.
