    • “The most prodigious trumpeter of his generation.” – The Guardian (UK)

    Like his mentor Dizzy Gillespie, trumpeter Arturo Sandoval is equally gifted as a performer and entertainer. His Grammy-winning discography contains work as a founding member of the Cuban supergroup Irakere, classical recordings, and the score for the HBO biopic of his life and defection from Cuba, For Love or Country. At his SFJAZZ debut concert, the vibrant and unpredictable Sandoval is likely to play piano, scat a jaw-dropping solo, and even pitch in on percussion. Read Program Notes
