Charlie Sepúlveda and The Turnaround

Madison Jazz Festival 2025 and Cafe CODA present an afternoon of Latin Jazz with Charlie Sepúlveda and The Turnaround on Sunday, June 8 at 2:00pm. General admission tickets will be $30.00.

World-Class Trumpeter, Composer, Bandleader, Educator, and Latin Grammy Winner, Charlie Sepúlveda stands as one of the few remaining pivotal figures in Latin Jazz music today. Dont miss this rare opportunity to experience the mastery of Charlie Sepúlveda and The Turnaround live in Madison for the first time!

Sepúlveda, one of the most celebrated figures in Latin jazz today, and from Luquillo, Puerto Rico, brings his extraordinary talent to Café CODA in a performance that promises to captivate both jazz aficionados and newcomers alike. With his remarkable blend of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and dynamic jazz improvisation, Sepúlvedas trumpet virtuosity has earned him international acclaim. With 12 recordings as a band leader, a Latin Grammy for his Big Band recording with Jon Secada, To Benny With Love (BMG, 2017), four Grammy nominations, a Billboard Award, and collaborations with legends including Eddie Palmieri, Dizzy Gillespie, and Tito Puente, Charlie Sepúlveda is recognized as one of the premiere artists in Latin Jazz.

Currently serving as the musical director for Jazz at Lincoln Center in Puerto Rico and professor at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico, Sepúlvedas appearance in Madison represents a special cultural moment that should not be missed. His latest recordings on HighNote Records showcase his unique ability to bridge traditional Latin rhythms with cutting-edge jazz innovation.
