Perico Sambeat's "Flamenco Big Band" is a groundbreaking fusion of Andalucian flamenco and jazz, released on Verve in 2008. This ambitious album showcases Sambeat's mastery as a saxophonist and his innovative approach to blending traditional flamenco with contemporary jazz. The eight-track collection, spanning over an hour and ten minutes, features a rich tapestry of sounds that highlight the interplay between flamenco's rhythmic intensity and jazz's improvisational freedom.
The album opens with "Cauce," a sprawling piece that sets the tone for the rest of the record, followed by "Nido del aire," which showcases the band's dynamic range. "Olhaíl (Luz del sur)" brings a touch of southern lightness, while "Nocturno" delves into more introspective territory. The title track "Flamenco Big Band" pays homage to jazz legend Duke Ellington with a vibrant "Guajira para Duke." Throughout the album, Sambeat's collaboration with a stellar ensemble of musicians brings each piece to life, making "Flamenco Big Band" a standout in the world of jazz and flamenco fusion.
