| | Danzon CD Arturo Sandoval Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
All songs written by Arturo Sandoval except "Groovin' High" (John "Dizzy" Gillespie), "Tres Palabras" (Osvaldo Farres/Ray Gilbert) and "Suavito" (Maria A. Gomez).
DANZON won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Latin Jazz Performance. "A Mis Abuelos" was nominated for Best Instrumental Composition and Best Arrangement On An Instrumental.
Trumpeter Arturo Sandoval comes close on Danzon to cutting the Afro-Cuban masterpiece everyone's awaited since his glorious sound first surfaced. From the animated solos on "Africa," "Tres Palabras," and "Conjunto" to the flowing, crisply articulated lines on "Groovin' High," Sandoval plays with imagination, verve and flair, displaying a more original and distinctive concept than on any of his GRP albums to date. He's joined by many top Latin musicians, plus special guest ringers like Vikki Carr, Bill Cosby, and Gloria Estefan, but there's no pandering or stylistic compromises to integrate them into the proceedings. For those who've longed for Sandoval to cut loose, here's the evidence that justifies his reputation. ~ Ron Wynn

| | Arturo Sandoval & The Latin Train CDs (1995) Limited Edition
Danzon CD music
$10.65
On 1995's Arturo Sandoval & the Latin Train, the Cuban-born multi-instrumentalist and his enormous band continue the trend toward reducing the Latin part of their Latin jazz. Guest stars of the caliber of the immortal Celia Cruz show up for Sandoval's 11th album, despite the orientation toward crossover jazz-pop with minimal Latin content. Sandoval and crew do perfectly acceptable versions of standards like "I Can't Get Started" and Dizzy Gillespie's "Bebop," and Sandoval's originals are generally pleasantly tuneful. ~ Stewart Mason
