Catalonian Nights Vol. 1

Catalonian Nights Vol. 1 is a live album by pianist Tete Montoliu recorded in Spain in 1980 and released on the Danish label, SteepleChase.

Reception

Scott Yanow of AllMusic said "Although not an innovator, Montoliu (like Oscar Peterson, whose phenomenal technique he approached) was a master of the modern mainstream and of chordal improvisation. He digs into these songs and comes up with consistently fresh and swinging ideas".
