INTRO: 

Trumpeter Arturo Sandoval was a protege of the late Dizzy 
Gillespie. They first met when Sandoval -- without revealing 
that he was a musician -- offered to drive Gillespie to 
musical hotspots in the barrios of Havana. In the '70s, 
Sandoval teamed up with Chucho Valdez and Pacquito 
D'Rivera to lead the virtuosic group known as 
Irakere <EE-rah-KEH-ray>, which blended traditional 
Afro-Cuban beats with American jazz and funk.  Gillespie 
later hired Sandoval for his band, and helped him defect 
from Cuba. 

In concert today, Sandoval is fluent in jazz, Latin and 
classical idioms. He's been known to impersonate 
trumpet styles ranging from the New Orleans stomp of 
King Oliver to the baroque stylings of Maurice Andre. 

This is how he describes his music, in his own words ...
