Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert out on 96/24

This masterpiece (and best selling solo Piano and Solo Jazz album of all time) has been remastered and is now out on 96/24 on HDTracks. I have not downloaded it yet but I will this evening. Lets hope the higher resolution reveals new nuances. To me this is the most exiting news in audio in a long time, but thenagain I have been listening to this album for over 30 year, and for me it easily ranks as the most emotionally impactfull piece of music I have listened to in my lifetime.

Thanks for the update on your impression of the new HD version. I have not downloaded any of the HD tracks yet but I am tempted to give them a try. The Koln Concert is a great recording and I was hoping to hear that the HD was a noticeable improvement. Keith Jarrett's grunts are sometimes a distraction but given the quality of his work I tolerate them for the most part. I have the majority of his recordings and his Koln Concert sparked my interest in Jazz many years ago. I listen to Jazz recordings more than any other genre so it was a watershed recording for me.
Thanks also to RW for informing us of his role in deciding what's acceptable on the forum.
