At the web site LaughingSquid.Com today appeared the following blog. Arturo Sandoval, for me, is a “trumpet hero” and my opinion is a candidate for GOAT, along with the few others in the rarified 99.9999999999 percentile.
Musician Arturo Sandoval Plays Six Octaves on Trumpet During ‘A Night in Tunisia’ With the US Air Force Band
LORI DORNOCTOBER 4, 2021While performing with The United States Air Force Band, jazz great Arturo Sandovalplayed six remarkable octaves on his trumpet during the Dizzy Gillespie song “A Night in Tunisia”. Keeping pace with Sandoval on trumpet was then Chief Master Sergeant Tim Leahy. This performance took place during the “America’s Veterans: A Musical Tribute” in 2011 at The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, Maryland.
In this clip, Arturo Sandoval gives an electric performance of “A Night in Tunisia”, also featuring one the Air Force Band’s own SMSgt Tim Leahy on trumpet. -
Just a question about terminology, but was that The U.S.A.F. Band or the Airmen of Note with the Strolling Strings?

This was posted on Facebook by “The Airmen of Note”, and on YouTube by the “United States Air Force Band”. Aren’t the Airmen of Note considered part of United States Air Force Band? I would defer to your expetise.

Yes, I have seen him do this live. In fact, I published a recording of him doing this same thing at an ITG Conference on Youtube.

The U. S. Air Force Band is the name of the entire organization which consists of the USAF Concert Band, Airmen of Note, Strolling Strings, Max Impact and the Singing Sergeants. YouTube answered my question - Airmen of Note with the Strolling Strings. Thanks.

Well, for some reason I can't edit. I believe it should say facebook.

A number of years ago, I saw Arturo Sandoval in concert perform at the Heineken Jazz Festival in San Juan, Puerto Rico, as well as a festival in Burlington, Vermont. Both were outstanding performances by this consummate musician that included “A Night in Tunisia”.
