While growing up in Cuba, Sandoval was influenced by jazz legends Charlie Parker, Clifford Brown, and Dizzy Gillespie. He finally met Dizzy in 1977 and Gillespie promptly became a mentor and colleague. Sandoval defected to the United States of America while touring with Gillespie in 1990, and became a naturalized citizen of the U.S. in 1999.
