High Quality Sound Card




"In my opinion the best music is always the one that sounds like
if there had been nothing in writing before it.
If possible, always go back to start from silence "Keith Jarrett

How about one of the greatest musicians of the century?
How about the pianist grew up in the court of Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett?
How about the "Koln Concert", the "concert in Cologne?
How about the greatest jazz piano album in the history of mankind?
What has sold three and a half million copies?

You could start by putting a 'musical-stylistic analysis of the thing but, objectively, what would?

the evening of January 24, 1975, the date of recording the disc, the Opera House in Cologne, who would have imagined that sitting in front of a piano tune, Jarrett would played what is remembered as the greatest improvisation of all time?

Yes, improvisation.
Why is all improvised.
Jarrett has always been famous for this but, in my opinion, with this concert really touched the 'peak.
It 's so perfect "Koln Concert"!
so full of life, joy, infinite sadness.
It 'sad, alive, complex, and at the same time a shocking simplicity.
It seems that the notes you slide on, drench.
you run on the basses, the repeated chords, scales, notes, clean, sweet.
Sixty minutes and six seconds.

I invite you to listen this disc if you have not already done so.
Sixty minutes, six seconds, no more.
I invite you to search for life, to feel every single note as part of something infinite, bigger than you.
invites you to taste, to taste every single piece, like a delicious dish.
I invite you to experience it as all-encompassing experience.
Revenue in the concert in Cologne, camminatevi, commuovetevi, cry.

Someone asked Jarrett to transcribe the "Koln Concert" his answer was that the concert had to go as it came.

I hope the "Concert in Cologne" do not go.

Mai.
