"We dindn't know neither what we were going to play, nor what we were playing", remembers Tete Montoliu. "We played in a very free way. In that moment this was my conception of how the free jazz should be. We had not even talk about what we wanted to do. We took the instruments and we played, everything in one go, without preconcived ideas. When we were playing, we had not in mind a title as 'Lliure Jazz' (jazz free), at all. The title was chosen later by the record company, without telling us about it, but it perfectly suits the spirit with the album was recorded".

Lliure Jazz o jazz libre (always in catalan or spanish) or simpley jazzistic freedom but not free jazz (in english), in order to set the proper distances with the followers of Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor that in 1969 (when this album was recorded) began to be so important numericaly than their detractors. Tete Montoliu has always been belligerent against free jazz, the one he designates "playing for play", but never with the freedom in music, and far from it with the jazz, a music that was born free (from the freedom newly conquered by the slaves) and has kept on going free until our days (and we can suppose that it will do so).

Lliure Jazz was recorded in a studio near Madrid, exactly at Estudios Celada in Alcorcуn, in April 23rd of 1969. The session started late in the evening.

Tete shuts himself in the studio alone with the big grand piano and recorded, nearly without stoping, the first eight melodies of the record 'Tete Montoliu interpreta a Serrat' (Tete Montoliu performing Serrat). Tete started recording alone because the other two members of the band (the counterbassist Eric Peter and the drumer Peer Wyboris, an historical trio in Montoliu's career) were playing this night with another band at the Whisky Jazz, a club in Madrid. When they arrived to the studio, in the early morning, the whole trio finished with the record of songs by Serrat performing two traditional catalan melodies. Having more time than enough, Tete, Eric and Peer, attacked, nearly without intending it, the recording of this second vinyl. The resulting it's obvious: one the most outstanding records by Tete Montoliu.
