Description

Montara is a sultry, melodic gem from vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, seamlessly blending Latin jazz, soul, and a touch of funk.

The album exudes sunshine and space: sparkling vibraphone and marimba, airy flutes, warm electric piano, and a supple, percussive foundation of congas and timbales. Instead of virtuosic bustle, Hutcherson opts for melodic clarity, tight arrangements, and a groove that immediately gets under your skin.

The title track, "Montara," sets the tone with an unforgettable theme, shimmering harmonies, and a calm, danceable pulse. The band subtly layers a sound that is both elegant and captivating, ideal for both focused listening and a relaxed, sunny atmosphere. The production sounds open and cinematic: every stroke of the metal, every breath of the flute, and every thud of the percussion is given space, allowing the music to breathe.

A timeless listening experience for lovers of refined Blue Note grooves, Latin influences, and deep, compelling themes. Montara proves how accessible contemporary jazz can be without sacrificing any depth.
