Background

This was Sambeat's first recording as leader for ACT Music.[1] He was also the producer.[1]

Music and recording

The album was recorded at Knoop Studio, River Edge, New Jersey, in February 2003.[1] All but one track ("Crazy She Calls Me") is a Sambeat original.[1] Carmen Canela sings in Portuguese on one track.[1]

Reception

The Penguin Guide to Jazz suggested that the tracks were too similar and that more of Sambeat on soprano instead of alto sax would have helped this.[2] BBC Music Magazine commented that "Mehldau, away from his own records, is free simply to play excellent piano", and "this is an often riveting sequence of originals".[3]

Personnel
gollark: It's inevitably doomed to failure if anyone actually cares enough, but who knows if they will.
gollark: But yes, I agree utterly, most copy protection stuff bad, I would go for at most having asymmetric-cryptography-verified license keyoids.
gollark: Sounds backdoory.
gollark: Especially as my server only has about 99% uptime.
gollark: You *could* just use *asymmetric* apiocryptography probably maybe? Requiring an internet connection to use it is VARIOUSLY apioformic.
