Digital Booklet
"... Köln was Jarrett's moment and a turning point for the immensely influential ECM label too, which the album helped to bankroll for years to come." - The Guardian "The piano improvisations incorporate a broad spectrum of musical idioms and languages: classical, jazz, ethnic, gospel, folk, blues and pure sound, revealing a creative process based on a deeply conscious state of awakeness and listening in the moment, producing music both deeply personal, yet universal. This body of solo piano work is without precedent ..." - All About Jazz Keith Jarrett's live recording of his legendary Köln concert in January 1975 went on to become the best-selling solo album in jazz history and the most successful piano album of all time, with worldwide sales exceeding three-and-a-half million copies. The Köln Concert was named by The Guardian as one of the 50 great moments in jazz, only one of the glowing reviews it received and continues to receive from critics around the world.

What is High-Resolution Audio?

High-resolution audio offers the highest-fidelity available, far surpassing the sound quality of traditional CDs. When you listen to music on a CD or tracks purchased via consumer services such as iTunes, you are hearing a low-resolution version of what was actually recorded and mastered in the studio. ProStudioMasters offers the original studio masters — exactly as the artist, producers and sound engineers mastered them — for download, directly to you.

What do I need for playback?

You may need additional software / hardware to take full advantage of the higher 24-bit high-res audio formats, but any music lover that has heard 16-bit vs 24-bit will tell you it's worth it!
