A protégé of the legendary Dizzy Gillespie, Arturo Sandoval has become an international icon of jazz. Since defecting to the United States in 1990, Sandoval has earned 10 Grammy Awards, 6 Billboard Awards, and an Emmy. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 and was a Kennedy Center Honoree in 2024. 

The Toledo Jazz Orchestra (TJO) and Toledo Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA) have announced a formal merger, effective immediately. The two organizations have been working under a strategic partnership since 2022. In this new agreement, TJO officially joins TAPA as its third musical member. Alain Trudel will continue to serve as TJO Artistic Director, as he has for the past two seasons.
