Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

It Begins

After months of anticipation, the wait is over. The 2010 Burlington Discover Jazz Fest is finally here. And what better way to kick off the fun than a performance by Latin jazz giant, Arturo Sandoval? The Cuban-born trumpeter is a certifiable living legend, having performed with everyone from Stan Getz to Frank Sinatra and, of course, Dizzy Gillespie, under whose tutelage Sandoval grew into one of the most exciting and instantly recognizable players on the planet. This Friday, The Arturo Sandoval Sextet raises the curtain on this year’s jazz fest with a performance at the Flynn MainStage. The 2010 Vermont All-State Jazz Ensemble open.
