Arturo Sandoval - Havana 1986
Last year, 2007, a great 2CD was released by Cuban born trumpet player Arturo Sandoval. This album was called Arturo Sandoval Live At The Hotel Nacional Havana 1986. It was released by Yemaya Records.
The album I mentioned above, the 1986 live album made in Havana, contains Arturo Sandoval with an all-Cuban crew, featuring: Arturo Sandoval on trumpet and flügelhorn (and piano), Hilario Duran on piano, Jorge Reyes bass, Jorge Luis Chicoy guitar, Reynaldo Valera percussion and Reinaldo Garcia drums. In 1986 Arturo Sandoval had a weekly gig at the famous Hotel Nacional, in the so-called Libertad room in Havana, Cuba. This 2CD contains a transcription of one of his memorable 1986 concerts. As it was made two month before the Spanish Tumbaito both albums contain the same personel and some equal tunes, like Dizzy Gillespie's tune A Night In Tunesia, his own compositions Nuestro Blues and Relax and the tune Los Elefantes by Eddie Louise. He also performas two classical pieces from Bach and Hummel and a tribute to his master on the trumpet Dizzy Gillespie: Blues For Gillespie. The Havana concert, the 2CD album, brings one and a half hour of high-voltage live music, the shoot sparks will fill your room: mind the neighbours should be the subtitle !! This 2CD is well designed and has some excellent liner notes in English and Spanish from Maria Elena Mendiola, professor at the Cuban Art Institute for Higher Learning in Havana.
For those who have never heard Arturo Sandoval playing I love to share with you a film fragment. Enjoy it.
A must have !!

Vorig jaar, 2007, verscheen een schitterende 2CD van de in Cuba geboren trompettist Arturo Sandoval. Het album is getiteld Arturo Sandoval Live At The Hotel Nacional Havana 1986. Het is uitgebracht door Yemaya Records

De plaat, hierboven genoemd, de live opnamen gemaakt in Havana in 1986, bevat Arturo Sandoval's band met een geheel Cubaanse bezetting: Arturo Sandoval op trompet en bügel (en piano), Hilario Duran op piano, Jorge Reyes bas, Jorge Luis Chicoy gitaar, Reynaldo Valera percussie en Reinaldo Garcia slagwerk. In 1986 had Arturo Sandoval een wekelijks optreden in de Libertad zaal van het beroemde Hotel Nacional in de Cubaanse hoofdstad Havana. Deze dubbel-CD bevat opnamen van één van die memorabele concerten. Aangezien dit concert opgenomen werd twee maanden voor de Spaanse opnamen, is de bezetting identiek en staan er een aantal dezelfde nummers op, zoals Dizzy Gillespie's nummer A Night In Tunesia, eigen composities als Nuestro Blues en Relax, en de compositie van Eddie Louise getiteld Los Elefantes. Arturo Sandoval speelt ook twee klassieke stukken van componisten als Bach en Hummel en een eerbetoon aan zijn leermeester Dizzy Gillespie: Blues For Gillespie. Tijdens dit concert in Havana krijg je anderhalf uur muziek op hoogspanning, waarvan de vonken de hele kamer vullen: Mind the neighbours ( denk aan de buren) zou op de hoes moeten staan.

A must have - muziek waar je niet omheen kunt!!

There is hardly any other trumpeter who can push out the notes in such rapid succession or with such precision, and surely no other who can reach the phenomenal heights in which he moves.
I really want to know how to play this instrument its sounds really good hope in near future i will play this myself.
