Initially training as a classical flute player, Sambeat began playing the saxophone in 1980.[5] In 1982, he moved to Barcelona and started to concentrate on the saxophone full-time.[5] He has been a professor at Berklee's campus in Valencia, Spain since 2013.[5]
Reviewing his album Friendship, John Fordham of The Guardian described Sambeat as "an artist of imposing character within a straightish postbop context".[6]
