Style

Sandoval has proven to be extremely versatile, capable of playing pretty much anything. He has done classical work, Salsa, Be-bop, and is one of the foremost Cubop players in the world. He can dazzle with his supercharged tone and bop-flavored flurries way up in the trumpet's highest register. Yet, on slower pieces, he has a golden, mellow tone on the flugelhorn, with a subtle sense of swing. He is capable of playing anything, proving it more than once by tackling classical arrangements as well as jazz in the same concert, and he has enough curiosity to search far beyond his Cubop base for repertory.
