In January 1975, jazz pianist Keith Jarrett performed a solo concert at the Cologne Opera House. The recording of the improvised performance grew into the best-selling solo jazz album of all time. The organizer of the legendary concert was Vera Brandes, who was not yet twenty when—despite many setbacks and without any experience—she staged the sold-out performance. This history forms the basis of Köln 75, an energetic, funny, and powerfully performed ode to the people behind the scenes of the creative sector.
