It was thanks to Donal Dineens radio show that i found the music of Keith Jarrett or rather it found me. Returning home late one night in October, high on a potent mix of Apostasy's legendary hot chocolate and kisses from the man i was falling in love with, the first few notes of 'The Köln Concert' ebbed from the stereo and knocked me sideways.
Over a decade later the album still has the power to engulf and mesmerize me. That December my first love and i made an agreement, as poor students we would only exchange one small present for Christmas. Unwrapping our gifts in our first home together, it appeared that great minds thought alike: Two copies of 'The Köln Concert'.
