About this product

Product Information

Andy Garcia stars as world-renowned Cuban trumpet player Arturo Sandoval in this moving portrait of his life in Cuba, his passion for jazz, and his eventual defection from his homeland in 1990. A passionate free thinker, Arturo struggled for personal and creative freedom in Cuban, experiencing a lifetime of artistic persecution. Despite strict revolutionary guidelines, Arturo played with the award-winning Cuban fusion band Irakere, receiving critical and commercial success while living under the shadow of Fidel Castro's dictatorship. In 1981, Sandoval left Irakere and formed his own band, desperate to play jazz by his own rules. A musical virtuoso, Sandoval lived to play his own brash brand of jazz, inspired by his mentor and longtime friend, American jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie (Charles S.Dutton). Ultimately, Arturo's love for his wife, Mariela (Mia Maestro), and his growing family forced him to stay in Cuba, constantly compromising his artistic freedom for the revolution. Finally, in 1990, after years of artistic frustration, Gillespie helped Arturo to defect with his wife and young son. The Sandovals' remarkable journey to freedom is conveyed through a series of flashbacks, as Arturo reflects on his passion for his country, his wife, and his ultimate desire for musical freedom. Andy Garcia gives an uplifting and moving performance as the jazz legend, swinging and bopping onstage to his own uncompromising rhythm. The film also features a fabulous supporting cast, including Latin superstar Gloria Estefan, and a rousing score from the legend himself, Arturo Sandoval.

    A few days after ordering the item, the seller contacted me saying that the copy was unavailable but they could send me a different copy of the same movie (different year/version) or a refund. I've opted for the refund and resolved the issue easily. Even if I didn't get the item, I would definitely deal with this seller again. They informed me of the situation in a timely manner, without it getting to the point where I'd have to contact them to ask where the item is at. A++++ to the seller!

    Great Film, Great Value

    I have always enjoyed this movie about Arturo Sandoal. Andy Garcia does a great job playing him in the movie and there is some excellent jazz playing as well. The DVD arrived quickly and was very reasonably priced. Highly Recommended.
