Reuben Franco, President of the Orange County Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, gets the rare privilege (and pleasure) to interview the legendary jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval. Including how he fled his childhood home in Communist Cuba, how he met and was helped by the great Dizzy Gillespie and the many Grammy Awards he’s won thru the years, starting with Irakere (an influential jazz group that brought Afro-Cuban music to the US, winning a Grammy Award for Best Latin Recording in 1980).

All in preparation for his rare, upcoming appearance here in Orange County Feb. 16 and 17 at the Segerstrom Center for the Arts with the Pacific Symphony Orchestra as part of their new Pop Series LATIN FIRE.

With the huge National Association of Music Merchandisers (NAMM) at the Anaheim Convention Center all week for their massive music industry trade show, hear about another important aspect of this non-profit’s work to support music programs at the local level. As we talk about NAMM’s recent “Day of Service” here in Anaheim (ahead of their multi-day trade show).

Happening two days before The NAMM Show, the world’s largest global gathering of the music industry, the hands-on service event supports the organization’s year-round efforts to provide every child in the district with the opportunity for a well-rounded education that includes music. Sunkist Elementary (K-6) has been chosen as this year’s host location for a day of high- energy, mixed genre, constructive musical learning opportunities. In addition to serving the community and students, NAMM will present a $10,000 check to support the continued growth of music making in Anaheim.
