“[Sandoval] reaches notes and sustains riffs
that seem to defy gravity.”
—The New York Times

Recently granted political asylum, this multi-Grammy-winning Cuban jazz trumpeter and founding member of the legendary jazz-fusion group Irakere is among the most brilliant musicians of our time. Celebrated for his furious bop-flavored exaltations that push the limits of the trumpet’s highest registers, Sandoval’s adventurous spirit and curiosity drive his music beyond its typical Afro-Cuban base. His remarkable story was the subject of an HBO original film that aired last November, For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story.
