As I was doing my research into jazz, I of course learned about Latin jazz, and Arturo Sandoval is one of the great names who was able to morph Latin music with modern jazz. Sandoval plays trumpet, and the legendary be-bop artist Dizzie Gillespie was his idol. Their relationship and Arturo's path are the inspiration for the film For Love Or Country: The Arturo Sandoval Story, which stars Andy Garcia. I have seen the film and I enjoyed it. It chronicles the trumpeter's and rise to stardom in his native Cuba and his subsequent defection to the the United States in 1990. Check out the Cherokee theme performance below.
