Arena (1975)

Caribbean Nights (5): Arturo Sandoval (1986x17)

Air date: Jun 18, 1986

Cuban jazz is rarely heard over here. Tonight, Arena redresses the balance with a performance by virtuoso trumpeter Arturo Sandoval. Much admired by Dizzy Gillespie, he returns the compliment with 'Blues Homage'; he then takes to the piano for a dynamic duet with bass player Jorge Reyes; and, finally, is joined by brilliant new-wave singer Donato Poveda.
