I know many of you might have this, but the Koln Concert is one of my favorite pieces of recorded music. Over an hour and a half of purely improvised genius, complete with grunts, sighs, and ribaldry galore. You should listen to this in order, and not skip around, because one movement just flows seamlessly into another. Notice as he plays in different time signatures with his right and left hand; this is one of many insane virtuosic techniques that Keith is famous for. My recommendation is to spend and hour and a half in a dark room smoking a big fatty to the entire album. Keith Jarrett has much to teach if you're willing to learn. It changed my life.
By popular demand: music should be free
