Tete Montoliu - solo piano
Blind Catalan pianist Tete Montoliu (b. March 28, 1933 in Barcelona) has long been a well-kept European secret but such situation changed for good in the mid 70s. Through the series of highly acclaimed recordings he has done for SteepleChase, this phenomenal talent on piano began to receive international recognition.
"...His playing is a revelation, packed with nuggets of melodic invention and executed with an astonishing technique, drive and harmonic understanding.." (Jazz Journal) |
