Producers: Branford Marsalis, David Sanchez. Recorded at Manhattan Center Studios, New York, New York on November 24 & 25, 1997. Includes liner notes by David Sanchez. OBSESION was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Performance. The eight compositions on this record are a complete melding of various pure Latin styles from Brazil and Cuba with contemporary jazz phrasing and harmonies. Although the songs are sometimes complexly arranged, the album still has a small ensemble sound with lots of room for soloing by various players in the ensemble. Each track features Sanchez, with his velvety yet clean and centered sound, as a primary melodic voice on either tenor or soprano saxophone, with a jazz rhythm section and a full complement of traditional Brazilian and Afro-Cuban percussion. On "Capullito de Alheli," the groove is funky, as Sanchez blows tenor over suspended harmonies. "Los Aretes De La Luna" and Sonando Con Puerto Rico" are boleros, the latter with a romantic string arrangement. The samba "Omorro Nao Tem Vez" and the bossa nova "Essa Mulher" have arrangements reminiscent of Claus Ogerman, with bass clarinet and flute adding airy and deep colors respectively.
Album Reviews: Vibe (6-7/98, p.172) - "...He has created a dynamic synthesis of jazz/classical tropes as well as Central/South American/Afro-Caribbean rhythms, motifs, and sensibilities..."
