editHi, I would like to add the following text under the "Notes on the Music" subheading as I think this recording is an excellent example of Jarrett's controversial vocalisation technique, but I think I've screwed up the citations/references.... assistance would be appreciated as to the necessary edits required to the cite notes. Thanks!
At many points during the performance, the aforementioned Neumann microphones pick up the ambient sound of Jarrett's "trademark" vocalisations.[1] The recorded sounds include grunts, groans, whoops and cries, along with more complex vocalisations in unison with the melodic theme that is currently being played. In several places the microphones also pick up the thumps and taps caused by Jarrett rhythmically stomping his feet on the stage or piano pedals in time with the music. These additional noises have caused some controversy regarding the status of the recording amongst Jazz "purists".[2]

"Best-selling" claims
editThere appears to be some hyperbole in the claim that this was the best-selling jazz album of all time, or the "best-selling piano album" of all time. According to this site https://bestsellingalbums.org/artist/6865 THE KÖLN CONCERT went Gold in France and Italy selling 125,000 copies, not 4 million (which would have been multi-platinum).

- The source says: "
This body of solo piano work is without precedent with the Köln Concert being the best selling piano recording in history.
" So "best-selling jazz album" may not be justified. Not sure what's on page 124 of Sandner (2020). Is that visible online at all? Martinevans123 (talk) 08:18, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
