Biography

Arturo Sandoval is a Cuban American jazz trumpeter, pianist, and composer.

While still in Cuba, Sandoval was inspired by jazz legends Charlie Parker, Clifford Brown, and Dizzy Gillespie, eventually meeting Gillespie in 1977. Gillespie became both a mentor and collaborator, performing with Sandoval in concerts across Europe and Cuba, and later including him in the United Nations Orchestra. Sandoval defected during a tour with Gillespie in 1990 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1998.

His life inspired the 2000 film For Love or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story, starring Andy García. Sandoval has won ten Grammy Awards with nineteen nominations, along with six Billboard Awards and one Emmy Award.

On August 8, 2013, President Barack Obama announced that Sandoval would be honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
