"One of the most exciting pianists in contemporary jazz"- The Guardian, UK​

Lynne Arriale has been a major force in the jazz world over a career spanning three decades. She has performed on the most prestigious international concert stages and won the Great American Jazz Piano Competition. Her 16 critically acclaimed albums have topped the Jazzweek Radio Charts and “Best of” honors in major publications. Lynne is dynamic and progressive in her compositions and she continues to bring energy and freshness to all her albums. Often spoken about in the same breath as jazz legends, Keith Jarrett and McCoy Tyner.

Two inspired pianists from different musical spheres, Thomas Enhco and Maki Namekawa, together tackle Keith Jarrett’s legendary album The Köln Concert (ECM, 1975), rendering the incredible luminance of its music freely oscillating between jazz and classical. Two artists and two approaches: Maki Namekawa will play note for note the first and last parts, while Thomas Enhco will improvise around the central part.
The classically trained Namekawa has endeavoured to faithfully reproduce the transcription of the concert from the recording. Jazz pianist Enhco, on the other hand, offers a new improvisation based on the original melodic framework. In doing so, the two pianists will present a reinvented work that aims to perpetuate the atmosphere of the now iconic concert.
