Ademuz is an album by jazz saxophonist and flautist Perico Sambeat. [1]

Contents

Music and recording

The album was recorded in Valencia in August and November 1995. [2] The compositions, all by Sambeat, are Latin jazz in style. [3] Vocalist Enrique Morente appears on three tracks. [3] The title track has "hard-hitting, quasi-fusion groove and keyboard, electric bass, and overdriven guitar textures, all of which give way to an acoustic ambience as the tune progresses." [3] Pianist Brad Mehldau's recollection of the record was that it "combined jazz and flamenco music in a new way". [4]

Sambeat was also producer for the album. [2]

Reception

The Penguin Guide to Jazz described it as "overcrowded with detail and noise", but concluded that it is "a charismatic and frequently exciting record." [5]
