Arturo Sandoval, one of the best trumpet players in the world. His story, and how he escaped Cuba, was featured in the movie
"For Love or Country", Cuban-born actor Andy Garcia played the role of Arturo Sandoval.
I recommend the movie to everyone, it's a great picture.

Andy Garcia was also in “The Lost City” which is another excellent movie.

It's sad that Canada's Jack Layton NDP, didn't outlive both his ideological fathers, Che Guevara and Fidel Castro.

Castro and Company wasn't particularly too good to Arturo nor was The Clinton Regime very help full in his immigration.

That movie showed that essentially Cuba was like Thereisienstadt, when American celebrities came to visit. They would trot out their musicians and show them how happy they were, and how free they were to play their music....but the moment they left...the government put the clamps down and forced them to play only the government sanctioned music.

Layton outlived Guevara chronologically by 43 years and agewise by 22 years.
To: dfwgator
play only the government sanctioned music That's the only way the Commie / Socialist system can exist. Everybody plays from the scores that concertmaster hands out. There is no id lib, improvisation or jammin' allowed. That kind of stuff makes the Conductor obsolete.

Thanks. I guess I presumed it was a given that people knew that Che Guevara was dead. Deservedly executed. Unfortunately Che didn't suffer enough, imo. In Spanish, the word 'both' is translated as ambos and actually means, both. I hope I don't have to explain why Che Guevara and Fidel Castro were and are murderous Marxists and that their ideology of Marxism is responsible for the slaughter of one hundred and fifty million human beings last century.

I once got to meet Arturo at a Jazz concert at Western Illinois University and he IS a stand-up guy. God Bless you Arturo.

newsflash: Sandoval was a member of the communist party in Cuba, as was his wife and his parents. He was one of the elite, living in a huge house in a choice neighborhood, with a car...
A great musician. I liked him then and I still like him, but hard to take his number seriously.

Actually, Cuban music is full of improvisation, and always has been. The control isn’t over how you play but more who gets to play it.

But if you had seen him all over Europe prior to 1990, you would have beard him making propaganda for Castro, constantly.
