5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any trumpet player!!!, May 8, 2003

I can think of no musician who would be able to tackle the formative task of trying to copy so many styles of trumpet playing than Mr. Sandoval. He just about completely pulls it off. He is able to pick up even the smallest idiosyncracies that distinguish each player. I was skeptical before purchasing this cd on his attempts with the classical players he takes on but he proved me quite wrong. The only player who seems to have given him problems is Chet Baker. That voice cannot be duplicated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Jazz CD of the Year, June 24, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Trumpet Evolution (Audio CD)

It's been easily ten years since I've enjoyed a jazz disk as much as this one. I bought it the day it came out, and have been addicted to it ever since. You haven't lived until you've heard Sandoval's version of "Can't Get Started," one of the two cuts where he sings (the other being "My Funny Valentine," also very enjoyable). This is jazz as in joyful, not as in listen-because-it's-good-for-you.

For someone who enjoys older jazz, just being able to hear cuts like Berrigan's in the crystal clarity of a modern, well produced recording is thrilling. This disk has also sent me back to the old recordings to hear more from all the artists (particularly Clark Terry, Clifford Brown, Harry James, Roy Eldridge) Sandoval pays tribute to. A great introduction to jazz trumpet for those who have yet to discover the wonders of that instrument, and a fun trip through the years for more knowledgeable jazz fans. What a gift to jazz, and jazz listeners.

Absolutely incredible! It is almost unbelievable how Arturo Sandoval is able to represent, with exquisite expertise, the techniques and diverse styles of all of these trumpet legends. I was absolutely blown away and would expect nothing less than this from such a giant - from the virtuoso talent that is maestro Sandoval. I recommend it, to say the very least!
