Arturo Sandoval

Opening : Hilario Duran

To be lucky enough to catch this exceptional Cuban musician in live performance is to cry out: encore! Arturo Sandoval, multiple Grammy winner, founder of incendiary Cuban jazz/rock/traditional group Irakere, is incontestably an immensely versatile trumpeter of peerless virtuosity. Well, legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie didn't take him as his protégé for nothing. Expect classic jazz and Afro-Latin at its hottest. Opening the evening: pianist Hilario Duran, who first came to prominence as a member of Sandoval's band during the '80s.
