5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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!!!

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars What a guy.......2001-09-19

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.

5 out of 5 stars Now this is great jazz and trumpet music.......2001-08-28

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
