Montara (Tone Poet): Vinyl LP

Label: Blue Note
Release Date: 19th September

Mastervibesman Bobby Hutcherson's 'Montara' on Tone Poet, baby. Just feel those Latin jazz fusion grooves in the finest detail as Bobby dances over the vibraphone, the rhythms skip and the woodwind and brass punctuate with a soulful flare. 

A high-water mark of Bobby Hutcherson’s 1970s Blue Note output, Montara is a feel-good album that found the vibraphonist conjuring up an intoxicating hybrid of Latin jazz and fusion grooves from the percolating rhythms of ‘La Malanga’, ‘Yuyo’, and ‘Oye Como Va’ to the alluring ‘Montara’ and ‘Love Song’.

This stereo Tone Poet Vinyl Edition was produced by Joe Harley, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original analog master tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl at RTI, and packaged in a deluxe tip-on jacket.
