Arturo Sandoval opens up about his passion for music, escaping communist Cuba and meeting the great jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie by chance. When he first started playing the trumpet at age 10 while living in Cuba, Sandoval was told he'd never make it as a musician — yet he persevered and eventually mastered the instrument at a young age. Now a 10-time Grammy and Latin Grammy Award winner, Sandoval is expanding beyond the trumpet, playing the piano and composing his own music as well. During the pandemic, Sandoval has turned to social media in order to share his gift with the world for free.
