July 17 - Charlie Sepulveda Salsa Band Live in Hartford - FREE
Charlie Sepulveda and Turnaround will be performing live at The 2009 Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz on Friday, July 17, 2009 at 7:00pm (Main Stage). At age 20, Charlie Sepulveda earned the first trumpet slot in the band of another native New Yorker of Puerto Rican ancestry, heralded pianist Eddie Palmieri. Twenty-five years later, after working with stars from Dizzy Gillespie to Tito Puente, Sepulveda has further proof that his studies at City College of New York, and in Puerto Rico, were fruitful. He started a solo recording career in 1991, but has only seven CDs, partly because he’s been busy giving back as a professor at the Conservatorio de Música de Puerto Rico.

August 22 - Bobby Sanabria & Candido Live in New Haven - FREE
This year's New Haven Jazz Festival features two incredibly talented Latin musicians, Bobby Sanabria and Candido, appearing together on Saturday, August 22, 2009 outdoors on The Green in downtown New Haven, CT. There will be other phenomenal Jazz musicians featured earlier that day as well from 3:00pm-9:00pm, with Bobby Sanabria and Candido performing at 8:00pm. FREE!
Bobby Sanabria – drummer, percussionist, composer, arranger, recording artist, and educator – has performed with a veritable Who’s Who in the world of jazz and Latin music, as well as with his own critically acclaimed ensemble, Ascensión. His diverse recording and performing experience includes work with such legendary figures as Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Paquito D’Rivera, Charles McPherson, Mongo Santamaría, Chico O’Farrill, Henry Threadgill, and Mario Bauzá. (read more: http://www.jazzhaven.org/page5.html).
Candido Camero – Well into his eighties, LP's elder statesman Candido Camero shows no sign of slowing down. His touch on congas is sure, his time is solid, his sound is uniquely his own, and his execution is as nimble as that of a man half his age. Born in 1921 in a Havana barrio called El Cerro, Candido was initially a multi-instrumentalist, showing facility on tres, guitar, and bass-these being key instruments in the popular Son music of the day.
