Dizzy Gillespie gave him a knighthood in the jazz community, and he received the Medal of Freedom from Barack Obama: Born in 1949 in a small suburb of Havana, Arturo Sandoval is not only an impressively powerful and virtuoso trumpeter, but also an internationally revered ambassador of freedom. With his radiant sound and rapid runs, Sandoval overcomes boundaries in music, and in doing so, breaks down barriers in people´s minds. With "For Love or Country," Sandoval may even see a film version of his life starring Andy Garcia (Sandoval won an Emmy for the score).
