The recording of The Köln Concert is the best-selling solo album in jazz history,. Now, fifty years on, pianist Paul Harrison pays tribute and reinterprets this masterpiece. The addition of two of the brightest talents of the new generation in Scottish Jazz - BBC Young Jazz Musician winner Ewan Hastie (bass) and drummer Stephen Henderson (Fergus McCreadie Trio) promises to bring fresh perspectives and dynamic interplay to this iconic work of piano jazz.Paul Harrison will open the concert with spontaneous improvisations on melodies from the Great American Songbook, in solo piano and trio format.
