Friendship (Perico Sambeat album)

This was Sambeat's first recording as leader for ACT Music. He was also the producer. ==Music and recording==

The album was recorded at Knoop Studio, River Edge, New Jersey, in February 2003. ==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. Writing for The Guardian, critic James Fordham gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, calling Sambeat ""an artist of imposing character within a straightish postbop context". }} ==Track listing==
