Based on a true story, Köln 75 follows a teenage up and coming concert promoter, Vera Brandes, in 1970s Germany as she plans to organize a Keith Jarrett concert. Despite almost failing, the concert became the iconic 1975 Koln concert. This jazz filled music drama reminds us that some of the most memorable moments of live performances happen behind the scenes.
