Bobby's sound mixed together Latin rhythms in a way very similar to what the late great Cal Tjader was doing at the time.
The Bobby Montez Quintet created a cool and hip sound and had many followers. Their performances in and around Los Angeles were many times sold-out and included stops at L.A.'s most prestigious Jazz clubs.
Montez surrounded himself with top-talent from the Los Angeles area; Mike Gutierrez on Timbales; Luis Miranda on Congas; pianist Carlos Avelar, who also sat in on vibes when Montez switched to the bass or piano; and Jimmy Baiz on bass. In later years, the Bobby Montez unit featured the sound of Ruben Provencio on bass.

Reguetoneros sufran en su mundo sin armonia musical aprendan de los grandes que nunca pasaran de moda arriba la rumba antillana melomanos sigan gazando
