Arturo Sandoval
is one of the premier Latin Jazz
instrumentalists around. Hailing from Cuba, despite the political oppression of his native country, Sandoval has
found a huge audience in the United States, where he tours regularly.
He has won Latin Grammy awards for Jazz, and finally defected to the United States when he turned 40. Widely considered a technical master of his primary instrument -- the trumpet --
he has authored three technique books, and releases an album every year. Other instruments Sandoval plays include the piano, congas and
timbales.
