I just bought tickets to see Keith Jarrett perform at Carnegie Hall on February 15th. I am thrilled and currently listening to his famous Köln concert. Do you love solo piano? If so, who are our favorites?

Almost any piece by Nil Frahm and Olafur Arnalds plus some Philip Glass tracks like “Openning”.

I love Ólafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm and Dustin O’Halloran too. You could also try Fabrizio Paterlini and Ludovico Einaudi. I forgot Ryuichi Sakamoto and Otto A. Totland, and if you fancy Scandinavian jazz, Bugge Wesseltoft and Esbjörn Svensson.

which starts with a story on the background of the Koln Concert.
