The Best of Arturo Sandoval

Amazon.com essential recording
This album offers a selection of Sandoval's better known jazz fanfares, full of the kind of roundhouse melodies and cantering tempos that allow his prodigious chops room to maneuver. Sandoval is also capable of gentle caresses and inventive turns of phrase, which he works in between foghorn blasts on tracks like his own "Luna de miel en Guama," and Abelardo Valdes's "Almendra." The rest of the songs here range from such familiar American fare as the show tune "Maria" and Dizzy Gillespie's "A Night in Tunisia," to Sandoval's own "Red Moon" and "Blues en dos partes," and a Latin reworking of "My Way," naturally entitled "A mi manera." All eventually serve as the musical equivalent of batting practice for the slugger/trumpeter, who sends note after note flying into the bleachers. --Britt Robson

Out of this world jazz trumpet!.......2006-04-14

I am a classical trumpet player who was considering playing jazz. Once I heard this CD, I was hooked. Arturo has inspired me to add Jazz to my repertoire. His range is the largest I've ever heard. At the end of "A Night in Tunisia," Arturo has a dual with an electric guitar (and wins). He goes up and beyond anything I imagined possible with the trumpet, as well as low. The very last not that he plays in "A Night in Tunisia" is so low that it sounds more like an electric bass than a trumpet. While he does have the bright tone of a Jazz player, Arturo also has a rich dark sound in "Maria." I don't think I've ever heard a song with more feeling put into than when Arturo plays "Maria." He simply breaks the physics of trumpet playing.

TOO HOT TO TOUCH!!!!!!.......2005-12-02

Arturo is an outstanding trumpet percussion and piano player!!!!! He can Blaze Thru afro-cuban music classical straight ahead jazz and acid jazz. He is such a well rounded musician. and almost everyone can agree with me when I say Hes TOO HOT TO TOUCH!!!

Totally outstanding!.......2003-02-25

This is one of the top jazz trumpets I have ever heard! Sandoval's technial ability and his range just topples me! He is much better than Maynard Feguson, I believe Sandoval has an octave above Ferguson. You can really hear his ability in the song A Night in Tunisia. Sandoval takes one lick and plays it i 3 DIFFERENT OCTAVES!!! His skill is beyond anything else i have ever heard. I hope to see him live soon.

What a guy.......2001-09-20

Simply put, Arturo Sandoval is one of the most amazing musicians of our time. This CD puts together some of his best work, although several tracks lack the Cuban "essence" that go with most of his songs. It is truly outstanding none the less. During Sandovals' cadenza on "A Night in Tunisia", you can hear someone in the audience yell out "Damn!" after one of his famed high notes... well put. This is one CD that's absolutely worth buying.

Now this is great jazz and trumpet music.......2001-08-29

If you saw his movie (For Love Or Country-great movie) and you like jazz music with an awesome trumpet player than you will love this C.D. There is very little vocal, instead the trumpet is the lead singer. There are many other outstanding musicians and instruments that make this a great C.D. I bought the soundtrack from Love Or Country and was very dissapointed, but this C.D. more than made up for it. If you want more big band jazz/trumpet music than my second recommendation would be Cubanismo by Jesus Alemany

Highly recommended.......2007-06-10

According to my taste, this CD is absolutely superb! All songs have their unique signature, none is like the other. All of them are Latin Jazz, but some are more into hard, modern Latin Jazz, others are into the classical sounds of the Latin Jazz; some of them are more jazzy, others more Latino. You can easily recognize a mambo ("A la P.P."), or a soul-lifting blues ("It Never Gets Old"), but my favorite song is still "A Mis Abuelos". I consider this one special because it starts with a typical Spanish Flamenco, switching then smoothly into the Cuban Jazz sounds keeping the same musical theme. If you are a Latin Jazz fan and you seek for variation in one single CD, go for it!
