I was lucky to see KJ twice at Boston's Symphony Hall...simply brilliant. Koln Concert Section llb has some of the most beautiful musical moments ever recorded...sheer genius.
Playing the Koln concert is already not within the reach of just anyone. But deciphering what's between and behind the notes is just impressive. Very refreshing ! I always thought that the Koln concert was not a simple improvisation from scratch. I am now convinced of it with Sir Kilhamn
This is an incredible analysis - thanks so much for taking the time to put together this three-part series on such a monumental piece that has influenced so many. It is not easy to capture all of the nuance and idiosyncrasies of Jarrett's initial improvisation, but you have done so marvelously. Cheers!
The Intro and B section are definitely what gave Keith Jarrett a permanent home in my brain. You could feel the exploration and spontaneous storytelling of a great, deep and sensitive, make no mistake about it, American/European drama. It's what we grew up with and lived in.
You've done such a wonderful job explaining one of my all-time favorite tunes. I am practicing part 1 for a couple of months now, but have been stuck in so many places (I use the same sheet music as you do - well, there is only one). To me, the medium (mediocre?) amateur piano player, your analysis is a wonderful guidance. Having a clear view on your keyboard and see you play is just enlighting. This video should have much more views and likes and nice comments ... All the best for you!
Thank you for this lesson... i saw KJ performing few times but i was distracted by the spirit he possesses while his 10 fingers become 25 and how beautiful it is his shy but determined singing waving through the vibrations of the piano s cords ... it is a magical voyage ... i can hear drums, violins, harps, and a notorious trumpet ... but really it is only the master KJ on piano ! 🥰
Î’ve been waiting for this Köln Concert video transcription for so much years, maybe 20 years, since I have been listening the unique and marvelous Köln Concert part one of Keith Jarrett, thanks you so much for that ! And thanks for the analysis and commentary of the différents parts. (J’ai attendu cette vidéo transcription du Köln Concert tellement d’années, peut-être vingt ans depuis que j’ai découvert l’unique et merveilleux Koln Concert part 1 de Keith Jarrett, merci beaucoup pour ça ! Et merci pour l’analyse et les commentaires des différentes parties).
I was so very fortunate to walk into a record store (musicland) and find the employee listening to this album over the speakers! When asked,he sighed and said, yes, this is the final copy...He knew I was going to take it off his hands.I have marveled over it ever since its release.I just wish there was a way to play it on acoustic guitar...Ha! Weeks before ,I walked in on Ralph Towner's Live LP and bought the last copy...so,he saw me coming.What amazing music that was created in those years between 1975 and 1980.
Thank you so much for this incredible analysis, absolutely great! This is my all time favorite tune, I have been listening to this concert days and nights for years. I tried to play the C part few years ago, but got stuck after many months of practise. You have just given me the inspiration to try again:)
Really awesome man. Super cool to watch classically trained player go thru the music. Bravo! I've heard others play it, and it caused me to think there rhythm transcriptions that are wrong and a bit blocky compared to Keith's original. You seem to have played great chunks of it better than others I've heard. I love how you love this music. I've listened well over 100 times to it. Maybe 500 cuz I put it on for girlfriends a lot. With your help I've gotten thru that first Fmaj7 bit to the turn back to A minor. Gonna keep slogging thru every bit I can actually sus out and handle mechanically. Those long fast virtuoso runs... I doubt I will ever watch my fingers play, sadly. Cheers!
13:45 - This magical moment of the concert of the century has become so ingrained in my memory that I sometimes even encountered it in my dreams ... Thank you ! The glow of A major can also be heard in Bach's music : J.S.BACH :"Liebster Jesu, wir sind hier" BWV 633 (Quintkanon/Canon at the fifth) ruclips.net/p/PLfdMKJMGPPtwlp9-LtR2c2Ivm9uwyt5EK J.S.BACH: Orgelwerke in A-Dur BWV 608/ 729/ 633/ 706/ 601/ 536/ 656/ 662/ 664/ (864/ 888/ 950/ 1055) ruclips.net/p/PLfdMKJMGPPty9JaipT8Dd-01XM2_RsTkA

Until now, I knew that I loved this music. Now, I know why. Tack sa mycket, Henrik! Amazing analysis.
Happy to hear it!
really appreciate you learning this so thoroughly and speaking about it so intricately... you know.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's admirable how you go into the whole piece. Congrats.
What a journey man. Thank you!
You’re great. The biggest like I will ever give on RUclips. Very impressed and grateful.

Bravo! That was amazing, and very instructional!

Thank you so much Marc! Yes, the music gets really tricky in some places. I'm glad you like the view of the keyboard :)
