Montara is a landmark album by vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, released in 1975 on Blue Note. A warm, groove-driven fusion of Latin jazz, funk, and soul jazz, it stands as one of Hutcherson’s most accessible and laid-back recordings.

Often favored by listeners unfamiliar with his more avant-garde works, Montara showcases a mellower, deeply rhythmic side of the artist.

The title track has been widely sampled, notably by producers like Madlib and Q-Tip, bringing the album renewed attention among new generations of listeners.
