El Pampero is a live album by Argentinian jazz composer and saxophonist Gato Barbieri featuring performances recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1971 and first released on the Flying Dutchman label.[1]
The Allmusic site awarded the album 4 stars stating "Gato Barbieri leads his fantastic group of musical friends with hurricane-like flair on his tenor sax. At times surreal and mind-boggling, Barbieri shows just how far one can let the music go to break the borders of jazz, sending his music into fresh and uncharted territory".
