Fénix is an album by Argentinian jazz composer and saxophonist Gato Barbieri featuring performances recorded in 1971 and first released on the Flying Dutchman label.
Writing in 1971 for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau referred to Fénix as "the first jazz I've played frequently for pleasure since In a Silent Way" (1969) by Miles Davis.[1] The AllMusic site awarded the album 4½ stars, stating that "at this point in 1971, well before the Muppets would create a caricature out of him, Barbieri was absolutely smoking, and for a certain style of rhythmic free jazz, this is a captivating album indeed".
