It's not mentioned often enough that Jarrett / Koln Concert is the best-selling solo piano recording across all genres in the history of the record business. No small task. The story behind their travel, lack of sleep, condition of piano - fairly epic moment in music history. For me, it's the moments around 6 and 11 minutes into the first side - stomping on the floor, the loud groaning and the feeling conveyed thru those European folk melodies - visceral. One of those ultimate headphone records. Turn it up!

I'm not a big fan of instrumental improvisational jazz. But - this is really good. I think maybe listening to something live vs recorded helps. This is a live performance. You can hear Keith grooving and the tempo changes, it's really quite moving. I can see why he's famous. -

I have a gatefold version of this and the runouts match with the "variant 2" listed above, except side 4 has ECM 1065 D-6 but its all scratched out then below it reads ECM 1064 D-6 but VERy faintly.

Edited 4 years agoFirst pitman pressing has purple or black sticker on sealed sleeve.
But is not easy find a sealed pitman.

Rough guide through the history of German pressings:
The earliest pressings show the "ECM Records" logo on the labels with copyright rim text beginning with "Urheber- und Leistungsschutzrechte".
Then they switched to the "ECM" logo on the labels (without "RECORDS" underneath).
Later the label rim text was altered to begin with "Alle".
Later still a second catalogue number (2641 064) was added on the backside of the sleeve, right underneath the ECM cat. no.
Even later this second cat. no. shows on the labels as well.
There are various transitional versions, combining different features. Sometimes the label design changes from one side of the record to the other.
Most copies used a matt laminated sleeve (appearing almost unlaminated in perfect condition). Some copies come with a unlaminated textured sleeve.

I seem to have this version, but in Gatefold. There does not seem to be a gatefold version with Man. & Dist. with Polydor -
The video on this page is a late cover by Tomasz Trzciński, the actual recording of the famous concert is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSP9Na2ozWM
