ONE NIGHT ONLY: GRAMMY-WINNING TRUMPETER CHARLIE SEPULVEDA AT CONSTELLATION

Friday, June 6, 2025 | Constellation Jazz Club, Chicago (3111 N. Western Ave)

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience the mastery of Latin Grammy Award-winning trumpeter Charlie Sepulveda live in Chicago for one night only, alongside World Class Puerto Rican Cuatro Virtuoso Eligio “Prodigio” Claudio.

Charlie Sepúlveda

Sepulveda, one of the most celebrated figures in Latin jazz today, brings his extraordinary talent to Constellation Jazz Club 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, Sepulveda’s trumpet virtuosity has earned him international acclaim, four Grammy nominations, and collaborations with legends including Eddie Palmieri, Dizzy Gillespie, and Tito Puente.

Currently serving as the musical director for Jazz at Lincoln Center in Puerto Rico and professor at the Conservatory of Music of Puerto Rico, Sepulveda’s appearance in Chicago 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.

Eligio “Prodigio” Claudio is a celebrated master of the Modern Puerto Rican Cuatro, a 10 string guitar uniquely considered to be the national instrument of Puerto Rico. As a young child he exhibited extraordinary skill and virtuosity and was affectionately dubbed “Prodigio” (translated as Prodigy).   Prodigio has collaborated with notable figures in both salsa and traditional folkloric music of Puerto Rico. Claudio is also a touring artist, having performed throughout the Americas and Europe, representing Puerto Rico in a variety of settings.  He currently performs and tours with the Willie Colon Orchestra and is considered “El Rey del Cuatro Salsero”, for his powerful montuno, his ability to harmonize any orchestral setting and his ability to make audiences dance.
