In the organizer's words:
Summer movie open air!
Unforgettable movie nights in the open air on our roof terrace on the 3rd floor of the K1 building!
We are showing "Köln 75" about the background to the famous Keith Jarrett Cologne concert; before the film, a one-hour piano improvisation concert by Frieder Egri dedicated to Mr. Keith Jarrett.
COLOGNE 75
DEU/BEL/POL 2025. dir: Ido Fluk. D: Mala Emde, John Magaro, Alexander Scheer, Ulrich Tukur, Jördis Triebel, Susanne Wolff. 117 min. Dt-englOmdtU. FSK: 12
And then it's the wrong grand piano. Not a Bösendorfer Grand Imperial, but a small, out-of-tune rehearsal instrument with jammed keys and a broken pedal. Far too small to properly fill the Cologne Opera House with its sound. How could Keith Jarrett be expected to give one of his improvised piano jazz concerts on January 24, 1975?
With over 4 million copies sold, "The Köln Konzert" became the most successful solo jazz album of all time. Vera Brandes organized the whole thing: she has a big mouth, she doesn't take no for an answer, she makes her world the way she likes it. KÖLN 75 tells her story, a schoolgirl who organizes jazz concerts, embodied with energy and temperament by Mala Emde in this witty and lively music film. In which no music by Keith Jarrett can be heard - Fluk tackles the problem of the rights issue skillfully and playfully in his feature film making-of one of the most famous concerts ever.
