His virtuosity is on full display in his newest album, Trumpet Evolution, a tribute to the history of his instrument. For each of the album's 19 compositions, Sandoval adopted the unique style of playing of an influential trumpeter that has gone before him . From Joseph "King" Oliver's Dipper Mouth Blues to Wynton Marsalis' Later, Sandoval swings his way through the history of horn blowing.

"It was very, very difficult to get the real feeling of each of 19 different individuals with different sounds, different styles, different feelings and different instruments," Sandoval says. "All of them are completely different."

To prepare for the project, Sandoval extensively researched the different styles and techniques of his trumpeting idols. Except for Manteca, which he'd often performed with his good friend Gillespie, Sandoval had never before publicly played any of the album's songs. Each composition was recorded using different ensembles in Los Angeles and Miami in an effort to achieve just the right mix of styles and instruments to represent a particular artist.

This is a record so fine, so full of passion, grace, and elegance it simply needs to be heard to be believed. (AMG)
