Part of Concord Music Group's 'Collection' series, this twelve track compilation gathers together some of the finest tracks that trumpeter Arturo Sandoval has recorded for the Telarc and Concord Jazz labels.
Arturo Sandoval's vibrant and versatile trumpet performances have made him one of the preeminent living jazz musicians and composers, while his personal story has made him something of a legend. His story begins in the late 1970s, when the Cuban-born musician was performing in clubs around Havana. With a bit of luck and a lot of hustle, the 27-year old musician met his idol, Dizzy Gillespie, and soon was enlisted to tour around the U.S. and Europe with the famous trumpeter's band.
