Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good music!.......2007-03-19

I like the consert and its variations of sound. It is rare to hear musicans reaction to his work.

5 out of 5 stars Ageless Sounds.......2007-02-17

The Koln Concert's improvisations highlight Jarrett's skills and passion. Truly ageless music that continues to provide pleasure to the lovers of jazz piano.

2 out of 5 stars All surface.......2007-01-15

The playing on this album is pretentiousness masquerading as profundity. Jarrett can set a nice groove, but then he simply falls in love with it, and self-indulgently persists to a point where I want to scream "Get off of it!" He tosses in some pretty decorations along ther way, and a few shouts and grunts now and then to show us how moved he is by this music, but it all adds up to an immensely forgettable experience.

5 out of 5 stars Like a dream, Like an angel, Like a lover.......2006-12-29

The first time when I hear this record was in 1990, and my country (Chile) left a bloody dictator like Pinochet. And for me this concert was really like a dream, like an angel and like a lover.
In this way I'd like to take some words of Virginia Madsen (Maya in film Sideways).
"I like to think about the life of wine. How it's a living thing. I like to think about what was going on the year the grapes were growing; how the sun was shining; if it rained. I like to think about all the people who tended and picked the grapes. And if it's an old wine, how many of them must be dead by now. I like how wine continues to evolve, like if I opened a bottle of wine today it would taste different than if I'd opened it on any other day, because a bottle of wine is actually alive. And it's constantly evolving and gaining complexity. That is, until it peaks, like your '61. And then it begins its steady, inevitable decline."

This record was (always) into the peaks.

2 out of 5 stars Pass.......2006-12-24

I truely dislike this solo CD, no matter that it is rated highly in all printed and Amazon reviews that I've read. Jarrett rambles on and on and on and grunts and groans his way to a long and welcomed end. And, it's not very good piano playing either. Were the other reviewers asleep when listening to "Koln Concert"? I pride myself in being open minded and musically literate but I cannot in good faith recommend this disc. If you want to listen to 1970s Jarrett, please try "Belonging" or "Expectations". Neither are solo Jarrett but both are excellent. Jarrett is at his best coupled with other great musicians.
