An outstanding veteran pianist from 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 <a href="spotify:artist:2PjgZkwAEk7UTin4jP6HLP">Lionel Hampton</a> in 1956, had his first session as a leader in 1958, and played with the touring <a href="spotify:artist:7De2eIqeHTw091YeAkkYXV">Roland Kirk</a> in 1963. Through the years, he also worked with such visiting Americans as <a href="spotify:artist:2fMvylhnE23sAlyePKK8er">Kenny Dorham</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3NUsiT2JSyaWAnWaXxDzhQ">Dexter Gordon</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:34W7ZCX0LZeJd8q6boKGOk">Ben Webster</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6cvs1RggkRFSyKPVCBT3cx">Lucky Thompson</a>, and even <a href="spotify:artist:3UXq4fckDmcPmleixlrl6i">Anthony Braxton</a>. Tete Montoliu's visits to the U.S. were very infrequent, but his SteepleChase albums (starting in 1971) are generally available; he also cut one date for Contemporary (1979) and recorded for Enja and Soul Note. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
