The Montreal Tapes: with Geri Allen and Paul Motian is a live album by the American jazz bassist Charlie Haden with pianist Geri Allen and drummer Paul Motian recorded in 1989 and released on the Verve label.^[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 4½ stars stating "pianist Geri Allen's work is always technically adroit, often adventurous, prodding and challenging the massive-toned Haden into producing some of his most out-there work of recent years... Other tracks are thoughtfully ruminative in ways that remind one of the Keith Jarrett American quartet, of which Haden and Motian were the anchors".^[2]
