Meet Arcoriris Sandoval – A Jazz Pianist

/in /by

Jazz pianist and composer ArcoIris Sandoval spent her summer all over the place.  We met her in July at the Zinc Bar in New York’s The Village where she was performing over a couple of nights before heading off to Massachusetts and other venues around the country.    Sandoval took the time to learn more about her craft with her master’s degree in jazz piano performance from the Manhattan School of Music.  In 2018, she released her debut Sonic Asylum Trio album entitled “First Voyage” which won a Global Music Award In 2018.  She has also earned respect from long time jazz performers.  So much so that George Cables performs her  original composition “Journey to Agartha on his latest album “I Hear Echoes”.
