Trumpeter Arturo Sandoval to play Bend’s Jazz at the Oxford

Sometimes as a lover of live music, there are rooms you want to get into — concerts you want to see, performances you want to be a part of, experiences you want to experience. What I mean by that is this: There are shows every week in this town, and you can go to them and have a good time. Totally valid! You should do that regularly. But then there are times when none other than Arturo Sandoval comes to Bend to play his trumpet in the cozy basement of a hotel in downtown Bend, and if you have a ticket, you can go there and watch him play from, like, 20 feet away. That’s a room you want to get into. You don’t have many opportunities in life to watch a musician like Sandoval in a space this intimate. We’re talking about a man who learned from Dizzy Gillespie, who has won 10 Grammy awards and who is widely considered one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time.
