Negative Positive
Title: Pass
Review: 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. Also, excellent piano solos by other artists from the same time period include Paul Bley's "Open to Love" (ECM/ 1972) and Chick Corea's "Piano Improvisations" (ECM/ 1971).
