The Blue Note Tone Poet Series was born out of Blue Note President Don Was' admiration for the exceptional audiophile Blue Note LP reissues presented by Music Matters. Was brought Joe Harley (from Music Matters), a.k.a. the "Tone Poet", on board to curate and supervise a series of reissues from the Blue Note family of labels.

A high-water mark of Bobby Hutcherson's remarkably creative and diverse 1970s Blue Note output, Montara is a feel-good album that found the great vibraphonist conjuring up an intoxicating hybrid of Latin jazz and fusion grooves. Recorded in Hutcherson's hometown of Los Angeles, the album features a talented cast of musicians including Willie Bobo, Blue Mitchell, Bobby Matos, Ernie Watts, Harvey Mason, Plas Johnson, Fred Jackson, Larry Nash, and Chuck Domanico. Hutcherson's stunning virtuosity and nuanced musicality is on full display across this set that moves between the percolating rhythms of "La Malanga", "Yuyo", and "Oye Como Va" and the rich harmonies and alluring textures of "Montara", "Love Song", and "Little Angel".
