Recorded live at El Palau de la Musica in Barcelona, on May 8, 1979, this live performance is one of Tete Montoliu's emblematic works. This double album captures an exceptional moment in Tete's career, since he had just left the Hospital and accompanied by his longtime companion Swiss Eric peter on double bass and Aldo Caviglia on drums, paying tribute to his sacred icons: Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Milt Jackson and Duke Ellington. Extraordinary.
