A protégé of the legendary Dizzy Gillespie, ARTURO SANDOVAL was born in Artemisa, Cuba, on November 6, 1949—just two years after Gillespie first introduced Latin influences into American jazz. From humble beginnings, Sandoval began studying classical trumpet at twelve, but it wasn't long before the fire of jazz took hold. Today, he stands as one of the most brilliant and multifaceted musicians of our time: a virtuoso of trumpet and flugelhorn, a masterful pianist, timbalero, composer, and a fearless innovator whose artistry has captivated millions around the globe.
