About Arturo Sandoval:
A protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval has evolved into one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugelhorn, as well as a renowned classical artist, pianist and composer. The dynamic, vivacious performer has received 10 GRAMMY® Awards, 6 Billboard Awards, and an Emmy Award. Sandoval is also a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and an Honorary Doctorate in Fine Arts from University of Notre-Dame.
In 2022, the Cuban maestro released his newest album Rhythm & Soul to rave reviews! The “Rhythm” is represented by a collection of new originals that draw on Arturo’s wealth of experience and encyclopedic knowledge in all forms of Latin music, from traditional Cuban Son to Brazilian Bossa-Nova and Samba to Caribbean Soca. The “Soul” is what comes from his horn. This album showcases Arturo as a player in many forms – from fiery to sensitive. Musicians and fans alike rightly marvel at his technical ability on the horn – the effortless high notes and the dizzying speed and execution of his improvised runs. He truly is one of the most beautiful ballad players around, and both sides of his soul are well represented here.
“Born into poverty in Cuba and held back by his government, he risked everything to share his gifts with the world. In the decades since, this astonishing trumpeter, pianist and composer has inspired audiences in every corner of the world and awakened a new generation of great performers. He remains one of the best ever to play.” – President Barack Obama
“Arguably the most prodigious trumpeter of his generation, a showman to the tips of his toes… imperiously and dashingly in charge of the resources of his trumpet.” – The Guardian
