“KÖLN 75” tells the true, entertaining, and moving story behind jazz legend Keith Jarrett’s historic “Köln Concert” from 1975.

Against all odds, the then 18-year-old Vera Brandes persuades the jazz icon to perform at the Cologne Opera House—on what turns out to be perhaps the most battered piano he has ever encountered in his career.

KÖLN 75 follows Vera’s relentless struggle to realize her dream, which seems on the verge of falling apart right up until the moment Keith Jarrett places his first finger on the keys.

The disaster never happens, and the rest is history: the double album “The Köln Concert” became the best-selling solo album in jazz history, as well as the best-selling piano album. And locally, Vera remains a legend.
