Ademuz (album)

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

Music and recording
The album was recorded in Valencia in August and November 1995. The compositions, all by Sambeat, are Latin jazz in style. Vocalist Enrique Morente appears on three tracks. 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." Pianist Brad Mehldau's recollection of the record was that it "combined jazz and flamenco music in a new way".

Sambeat was also producer for the album.

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."
