Keith Jarrett's the Köln concert

Keith Jarrett ranks among the most accomplished and influential pianists in jazz history. His Köln Concert stands among the most important jazz recordings of the past four decades, not only because of the music on the record, but also because of the remarkable reception it has received from musicians and lay-listeners alike. Since the album's 1975 release, it has sold over three million copies: an unprecedented feat for a 2 disc set of solo piano performances featuring no well-known songs. This book seeks to uncover what it is about this recording and performance that elicits such success.
