If US didn’t restrict living standards in Cuba he wouldn’t have had to escape.

Met him for first time on the movie set … most pleasant Gent. Shared most impressive stories with us.
The on-set jam sessions with other musical greats was truly remarkable, privileged to have seen them all perform/improvise

Very Proud of this man. As a Cuban myself, thank you! For making all Cubans proud, God Bless.

When Gayle retires, I hope Adriana takes her place. Sandoval is a genius.

Ironically Obama gave him that medal…

Such a beautiful, inspiring story. 😊😊

This video is inspiring for me. It should be mandatory watching for woke idiots. Probably only a few would get it.

Hus version of "My Love" from A Night at Ronnie's CD is beautiful. 😊

Amazing. As a Cuban American I'm so proud. God bless. My family left Cuba like many others due to repression of freedom of expression. Bravo Arturo!

i have not seen Arturo LIVE. i was fortunate enough to see Dizzy LIVE with his band in a little Central California venue before he passed away. that is the first time i learned how a trumpeter empties saliva from the bell. the woman, Adriana Diaz, interviewing Arturo here has great energy. Like 👍

Minunat Thank you

Bravo!!! Very well done.
I met Dizzy Gillespie back in 1980 when he was visiting radio station WRVR in New York which was next door to my high school" Greater New York Academy ", I told my friend, hey thats Dizzy Gallespie and she said "who is he"? When he heard her, he smiled…put his finger over his lips and blew as if blowing into a trumpet and his cheeks filled with air. She laughed and said " oh, he's Dizzy Gillespie? I've seen him before but didn't know his name. He was so tickled and we all laughed. He seemed to have a great sense of humor. He signed my art sketch pad (which my husband mistakenly threw out while cleaning out the attic)🤬🤬🤬
Even though the book is gone, the memory of that day will be with me always. I was 18 then and 62 now but I love to tell that story often. I am forever grateful for that encounter!!!
My husband and I love Arturo Sandoval and have many of his works on CD.
This was a great interview, I wish it was longer. Stories like these are great to see.
Thank you for posting this.
Peace and love.

Jazz is no longer illegal in Cuba. Years ago it was considered imperialist music but later it came to be regarded as the "music of the oppressed US blacks:
