Arturo Sandoval: My Passion For The Piano

Read "My Passion For The Piano" reviewed by Jim Santella


Straight-ahead piano trio jazz is one of Arturo Sandoval's passions. High-flying, bebop-rooted trumpeting is another. There are other passions in his life. In November 2000, HBO television depicted his life in a special film, For Love Or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story, starring Andy Garcia.

Arturo Sandoval: Ronnie Scott's Jazz House

Read "Ronnie Scott's Jazz House" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Now that Arturo Sandoval is approaching mythologization through a new HBO movie entitled, appropriately enough “The Arturo Sandoval Story," revived interest in his life and career--of course in sync with the Latin, and specifically Cuban, music surge--inevitably will lead to new recordings, re-releases and touring schedules.

Arturo Sandoval: Hot House

Read "Hot House" reviewed by Jack Bowers


On Hot House, the flashy Cuban–born trumpeter Arturo Sandoval coaxes a big–band sound from a group that is slightly smaller than Maynard Ferguson’s Big Bop Nouveau (two trumpets, two saxophones, two trombones and rhythm), adding a vigorous Latin beat shaped by drums, bass, piano, synthesizer and three rhythm specialists — Castrillo, Bonilla and Toledo — with ...
