The KCCK Featured CD for March is “Mr. EP: a Tribute to Eddie Palmieri” by Charlie Sepulveda and the Turnaround. At age 20, Sepulveda earned the first trumpet slot in the band of fellow New York native of Puerto Rican ancestry, heralded pianist Eddie Palmieri, eventually becoming the ensemble’s music director. Now, some thirty years later, after working with other Latin jazz icons like Hilton Ruiz and Tito Puente, the trumpeter has come full circle to honor his former boss. Sepulveda brings his distinctive style to eight imaginative tracks, with Palmieri himself joining in on a few. “Mr. EP”is on High Note Records. Click here to purchase the CD.
