In January 1975, 17-year-old Vera Brandes sets out to organize a concert for jazz pianist Keith Jarrett at the Cologne Opera House. Despite numerous obstacles – an unsuitable piano, Jarrett’s health issues, and logistical problems – the concert takes place and becomes one of the most legendary events in jazz history. “Köln 75” tells the inspiring story of a young woman whose determination and passion changed the course of music history.
