3 About ASI A Brief History of The Arturo Sandoval Institue The Arturo Sandoval Institute much like Arturo himself is energetic, passionate about music and goal oriented. From day one, its mission has been to Educate, Support and Inspire music students to continue their music education without regard to nancial circumstances. Founded in 2012 and earning tax exempt status, the Institute immediately booked its rst Save the Music concert which, with the help of Glendale Arts, has become an exciting annual event at the Alex Theatre. The following year, ASI established the All Star Youth Band, selecting the most promising high school music students and providing them with new opportunities to collaborate and perform. And perform they did onstage with Maestro Sandoval launching another annual tradition. In 2013, more than $20,000 was distributed in grants to bene t worthy music students in local schools. In 2014, our rst CEO was selected, ASI s advisory board was formed, I want to be remembered as a guy who loved music all kinds of good music and helped bring that love of music into children s lives. and $25,000 in annual grants were distributed. Our rst college scholarship was granted to a high school music student, and tuition assistance was granted to a virtuoso trumpet student attending school in New York. We were proud to see that student nominated for three Latin Grammys that year. Also in 2014, the Arturo Sandoval Institute funded and organized a free Inner City Arts concert to raise awareness for underprivileged music students in Los Angeles. As always, Maestro Sandoval and his band gave generously of their time and talent, making the concert a memorable event. In 2015, 20 talented high school students will be selected from a pool of nationwide applicants to play with Maestro Sandoval at the Save The Music 3 concert, which will also feature the ASI All-Star Youth Band also marks the inaugural year of our Hot Havana Night, a summer gala with entertainment, music and dancing at the Plaza Courtyard in Glendale. And yet another rst: ASI s Golf Tournament and banquet will be held at Brookside Country Club in Pasadena. And that s just the beginning. It s going to be a banner year, and we can t wait to see you at our exciting events. Caption: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consec-

4 Arturo Sandoval About the Maestro A protégé of the legendary jazz master Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval was born near Havana, Cuba in 1949, just two years after Gillespie became the first musician to bring Latin in influences into American jazz. Arturo grew up in poverty, but his musical talent began to shine at age 7 when he played congas on the street for pennies his rst professional gig. He joined the town band at age 11 and the young prodigy began studying classical trumpet a year later. Arturo first heard jazz played by Dizzy Gillespie and other greats on short wave radio. During his threeyear stint in the Cuban army, Voice of America was his lifeline, but he paid dearly for his love of jazz. My sergeant caught me listening to it, he said, and they put me in prison for 31 2 months. Then came what Sandoval calls, The gift from God. Dizzy Gillespie s visit to Cuba in It was the rst time I see a real jazz musician play live, he says. From then on, my mentality changed dramatically. Dizzy encouraged me immensely. He said, Man, the world has to hear your playing. He has since become an internationally renowned player of jazz trumpet and bugelhorn, in addition to his accomplishments as a classical artist, pianist and composer. But his journey was not an easy one. Arturo defected with his wife and son in 1990 while on tour; Gillespie rode with him and his family to the American Embassy in Rome to request political asylum. Soon to be released is a new book chronicling his relationship with Dizzy Gillespie entitled The Man Who Saved Me. Arturo said of him, Since I heard him the first time... every note I ever play, in a certain way, always has been a tribute to him. And many a note Arturo has played, with more than three dozen albums and soundtracks to his name. Billboard said of his artistry, I grew up a poor kid. I was completely hopeless, and I couldn t see any horizon for myself. There was a dirt foor in my house, and I had to quit school in the fifth grade to work to help my family, which was literally going hungry. But music came to me, like a piece of wood floating out in the middle of the ocean. Sandoval has played across a wide swath of styles, including ery Afro-Cuban jazz, speedy bebop, studied classical concertos and soothing smooth jazz. A trumpeter who s best-known for his torrid high-note runs and dazzling displays of hypercharged velocity and awless technique, Sandoval also has a soft spot in his heart for beautiful music and for heartfelt balladry. Among his career highlights, Arturo performed with Celine Dione at the Grammy Awards, with Alicia Keys at the Billboard Awards (he s won six), and at the Super Bowl with Tony Bennett and Patti LaBelle. His versatility can be heard on recordings with Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Woody Shaw, Michel legrand, Bill Conti, Stan Getz, Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka, Rod Stewart and Alicia Keys, among many others. Arturo performs regularly with the leading symphony orchestras around the world and he composed his own Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra which can be heard on Arturo Sandoval: The Classical Album.

5 How We've Helped The ASI is giving the gift of music to students Mike Velazquez, President of ASI, and Maestro Sandoval present a check to Lynn Miyamoto, President of the Glendale Educational Foundation. Hannah Cerezo didn t often leave her trumpet in her car. The one time she did, however, it was stolen. Her family could not afford to replace the instrument, but remarkably, Arturo heard about Hannah s tale of woe and sent her a brand new horn. He also gave her a sage word of advice: Never leave your horn in your car! A student does not have to become a professional musician for the music to become a part of her heart and soul and enrich her life. Each spring for the past three years, ASI has auditioned talented high school musicians to be part of the ASI All Star Youth Band. They perform with Maestro Sandoval the day of the concert at the Alex Theatre. It s a life-altering experience, said one of the students last year. With the horn she d rented. Munro s trumpet was a particularly wellused one Missoula, Montana fth-grade band student Isabel Munro struggled with the horn she d rented. Munro s trumpet was a particularly well-used one that made learning to play like learning to ride a bike with flat tires, as her music director said. Isabel almost switched instruments, in fact. One day she posted a request for a new horn on an Internet message board, and who should reply but renowned jazz musician Arturo Sandoval, who sent Miss Munro a horn. Now that I have a really good trumpet it makes band really fun, Munro said.
