The Cuban jazz legend’s “Symphony Under the Stars” concert with Symphony San Jose is part of a big year for Sandoval, who will be receiving a major award.
Arturo Sandoval, who played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2022, comes to the South Bay Sept. 14 to jam with Symphony San Jose.Cuban trumpet star Arturo Sandoval has called Los Angeles home for the past 15 years, but as of December he’ll effectively be an honorary citizen of the Bay Area.
“I’ve met Bonnie Raitt, but I’m excited to meet Francis Ford Coppola,” he said. “They haven’t told us who will be performing for us, it’s a surprise, but they said don’t even think about playing.” He’s not delving into his classical book on Saturday’s program. Instead Sandoval is performing his original Cuban compositions and standards with his septet and the symphony. The music often pays tribute to departed friends and family, like his ballad “A Mis Abuelos” and his Gillespie tribute “Dear Diz .” He also evokes Gillespie’s spirit via the legendary trumpeter’s bebop standards “Groovin’ High” and “A Night in Tunisia.
“What I find most exciting about working with Arturo is that he wants to be current,” said Sandoval’s longtime pianist Max Haymer, a top L.A. player who’s performed widely in the Bay Area with vocalist Jane Monheit. “He’s not resting on his laurels. The man is turning 75. Most people would be slowing down, but he ain’t. He’s striving to keep things fresh and new. That’s really inspiring.”
