Outstanding veteran pianist from Catalonya, (Spain), Tete Montoliu was born blind. He learned to read music in Braille when he was seven and developed impressive technique on piano. He recorded with Lionel Hampton in 1956, had his first session as a leader in 1958, and played with the touring Roland Kirk in 1963. Through the years, he also worked with such visiting Americans as Kenny Dorham, Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Lucky Thompson, and even Anthony Braxton.
Tete Montoliu’s visits to the U.S. were very infrequent. You can here listen to him in a pleasant trio shape At The Keystone Corner, San Francisco, september, 1979.
