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