Description

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Keith Jarrett's legendary improvised Köln Concert with this unique performance. Famously, Jarrett threatened to cancel the concert. It was the wrong piano. It couldn't be tuned. He was frustrated, hungry and in pain. It was thanks to the promoter, 17-year-old Vera Brandes, that the concert took place. The live recording is the best-selling solo piano album in history (both classical and jazz). Dorian Ford, the internationally acclaimed jazz pianist, honours this historic masterpiece. Creating a rare opportunity to hear Jarrett's brilliant original, Ford fuses it with his own inventive grooves and improvisations.

Amazing! Was a bit worried about hearing someone else interpret this fantastic improvisation but I was not disappointed. Dorian Ford's interpretation of the original concert was beautiful. He kept very near to the original but added his own variations to keep it alive. Strongly recommend.
