About

“Mr Sandoval's Playing is Spectacular”  New York Times

“ He's one of the Best “  Dizzy Gillespie

6 Time Grammy Award winning jazz trumpeter ARTURO SANDOVAL, a protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, is touring Australia in June 2013. Cuban-born Sandoval has evolved into one of the world’s most acknowledged guardians of jazz trumpet and flugel horn, as well as a renowned classical artist, pianist and composer.

A subject of a movie based on his life, “For Love or Country” starring Andy Garcia, Sandoval’s virtuoso technical ability or his specialty in high notes gives us the opportunity to enjoy the diversity of his music, through his compositions from the most straight ahead jazz, Latin jazz or classical. He is recognised as one of the most brilliant, multifaceted and renowned musicians of our time.

Arturo Sandoval’s versatility can be heard on recordings with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Woody Shaw, Michel Legrand, Bill Conti and Stan Getz to John Williams and the Boston Pops, and in the Super Bowl with Tony Bennet and Patti LaBelle plus Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka, Rod Stewart and Alicia Keys amongst many others. Arturo Sandoval is truly a prominent and legendary musician.

    Must See the Master Impresario of Entertainment!

    by MCDuPree on 3/6/11Folly Theater - Kansas City

    I've been to a lot of music concerts throughout my 59 years on the planet and I can't recall any that received more applause, whistles and shoutouts for the many talents and emotionally charged music continually displayed throughout the concert than this concert by the Master Impresario of Entertainment Arturo Sandoval. Sandoval gives more than he receives and keeps on giving. Sandoval played not only his stock-in-trade mesmerizing trumpet but also the piano, moog synthesizer and snare drum/cymbal/cowbell all with equal perfection and sensitivity, backed by some of the finest talent this listener has ever heard, all of whom measured up to their leader's best. Oh, and did I say, Smile, Arturo knows how to sing too. Set list programmed to keep you listening, always wondering what next. The consummate musician and entertainer--Arturo Sandoval. Can't wait for him to return.

    The every member of the quartet was an amazing musician in their own right. You could tell that the entire combo was having fun playing, entertaining, and creating music.

    Arturo and his band were excellent!

    by luckypenney on 3/5/11Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra Beach

    The performance was enthralling and the talent displayed was exceptional. He was a fascinating Jazz musician with so much enthusiasm. He and his band were worth every penny. The theater offered a lovely indoor setting with acoustic balance. Eventually, the theater may consider permanent seating. This would probably detour the more rock and roll performances, as the chairs would not be collapsible and the open space for moshing, eliminated. I would love to see similar performers in this lovely venue in the future.

    Excellent performance

    by Fedo on 2/28/11The Ritz Ybor - Tampa

    Arturo is a genius mucisian. His versality, ability to play the melody and his harmonizing technique makes him one of the great Jazz mucians of our country. Although he sacrifices accuracy of low/high notes to prove his ability his style and musicality is unique. Bravo a thousand times!

    A Collection of Uniquely Gifted Artists- - Teamed

    by JazzyDude on 2/27/11Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra Beach

    A collection of uniquely gifted artists- - teamed to amaze and delight. We have previously seen and heard Arturo's special latin trumpet skills (including a wider playing range than anyone sporting an embouchure) but he now demonstrates his considerable keyboard skills and interesting vocals. The woodwind and percussion artists are truly not to be believed and electronic base and keyboard talents are also outstanding. Don't miss this collection while they are still together!

    A Perfect Evening of Rare Talent

    by makeupgirloutonthetown on 2/27/11Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra Beach

    I cannot believe how wonderful Arturo Sandoval and his band were at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall. Arturo's musical timing is so rare, and to have had the opportunity to see and enjoy him personally was a gift from above. Thank you Arturo Sandoval for sharing so intimately your precious gift.

    Arturo Sandoval is terrific!

    by pvprincess on 2/27/11Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra Beach

    What an amazing performer. We knew he was great, but didn't realize the versatility with all the varied instruments he plays. We were surprised he sang too! And the Cuban rap was cool as well. His group of musicians are equally talented performers and we enjoyed his spotlighting each of them. Adelante Arturo!

    Great opportunity to see at great jazzman

    by JimmieGH on 2/27/11Ponte Vedra Concert Hall - Ponte Vedra Beach

    Arturo Sandoval continues to entertain without any sign of aging. He bonds with his audience, besides giving superb performances with multiple instruments. The Dizzy roots are unmistakable. The only negatives probably relate to the concert hall (a converted church), where the accoustics made the sounds of the keyboard especially difficult to fully enjoy -- I can't term it reverberation, but rather, just intense verberation. And, I would have liked a printed program. The program was nicely varied and covered the range of Mr. Sandoval's discology -- bop, fusion, ballads, afro-cuban -- as well as could be in 90 minutes (plus a 15 minute encore).

    The Master In Full Glory

    by Billzman on 1/2/11Kravis Center - West Palm Beach

    Arturo Sandoval is the undisputed champion of the trumpet...! He is also a virtuoso pianist. Words alone cannot describe his unlimited talent and artistry.... I am thankful that I was able to see him live again.

    Conga Bop, Arturo and SS&C SummerWind was oustandi

    by KJamesD on 9/1/10SS&C SummerWind Performing Arts Center - Windsor

    Saturday, the 28th of August was a wonderful experience. From the time I got out of my car to the time I got back in it after the show, I was treated well. The venue is a great place to see a show. The people, from the young explorers to people inside the venue were pleasant and helpful. When leaving they thanked people for attending. Conga Bop was wonderful and I was delighted to find out at the end that many of the musicians were local and part of the Hartt School of Music. I had never seen Arturo live before. The music was fantastic and Arturo is quite a showman. His energy was contagious and the crowd responded to it as did the other musicians. I would definately return to that venue to see other performances. It's a wonderful place to see a show. And if they brought Arturo back, I would love to see him again as well. Thanks for the great evening.

    Arturo Sandoval was at his best!

    by BlueMist on 8/30/10SS&C SummerWind Performing Arts Center - Windsor

    My spouse and I have been fans of Arturo Sandoval for many years. His smooth approach to any given audience, and his latin flare is soothing at times, but always uplifting and entertaining. The venue at Summer Winds is quaint and serene and depending on who the artist is, for a more consevative group... we've attended several shows at Summer Winds in the past, and we've never been disapponted... Arturo rocked!!

    Sandoval

    by Raphaelia on 8/30/10SS&C SummerWind Performing Arts Center - Windsor

    Arturo Sandoval is one of the most creative, inspirational musicians of our time. His Conga Bop concert at Summer Winds was wonderful. People could not sit still, wanting to vibrate and dance to the great sound of Arturo. Great event. Rapaelia

    The show was amazing, the crowd was great, the experience was unbelievable. I bought these tickets to go see Arturo for my husband's birthday to enjoy since he is his Idol, and it was the best gift I could have gave him! not only did he have a great time carefully paying attention to each note arturo played but I had an awsome time listening to his incredible skills he has. We had a blast!!

    Awesome concert

    by shagbolt on 6/19/10The Plaza Theatre - Orlando

    Arturo Sandoval and his combo performed an awesome concert in Orlando at the Plaza Theater. Such a great little theater with the best acoustics in Orlando by far and away! He performs trumpet, synth, piano, percussion and sings with such high quality and again has the best combo with him - one certainly of matching his style and improv!
