Classica 2025 presented by Marc Boucher: The Köln Concert String Quartet

Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : chamber jazz / Modern Jazz

Additional Information

The Köln concert, or Cologne concert, was performed by Keith Jarrett on January 24, 1975, 50 years ago. The public recording became the most listened-to solo piano improvisation in recording history (around one hour), and certainly the locomotive of the repertoire of the German label ECM, founded and still run by Manfred Eicher. This is certainly one of the emblematic jazz albums of the 70s, whose aura confers mythical status. To commemorate the half-century of this recording, Marc Boucher, artistic director and founder of the Classica festival, dreamed up a transcription of the improvisation for string quartet by François Vallières, performed by violist Elvira Misbakhova, cellist Stéphane Tétreault and violinists Antoine Bareil and Marie Bégin. Marc Boucher is invited to tell us more in this fragment of a long interview conducted by Alain Brunet for PAN M 360.
