Arturo Sandoval at the recording studio. “Dear Diz” should earn him his 9th Grammy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn the song \u201cEvery Day I Think About You\u201d, which Arturo Sandoval wrote, performed, and sang, he clearly displays the emotion of dedicating this song and album to his friend. Dizzy helped change his musical career and his life. You can actually feel in the song how much this album means for Arturo Sandoval.<\/p>\n
Sandoval\u2019s collection of the great late Jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie is a well produced and performed big band Jazz album. The album collects some of the best compositions of Dizzy Gillespie. It has the backing of an excellent cast of musicians and arrangers, including Sandoval himself.<\/p>\n
“Dear Diz” My Favorite for Best Jazz Large Ensemble Album<\/h3>\n Although I admit to be biased towards the Latin musician in this category, I truly believe that Sandoval\u2019s \u201cDear Diz\u201d is a superior album over the other two nominees; \n1.

The quality of music, performance, and production of \u201cDear Diz\u201d only\u00a0comes around once in a few years. Arturo Sandoval already carried a Latin Grammy with this album. In my opinion, he should also carry the Grammy in Sunday\u2019s edition of the Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n
