Tribute to Charles Burrell

This year at HiPoints, we honor a true Denver legend — Charles Burrell, the “Jackie Robinson of classical music” and a foundational voice in jazz history.

On September 13th, join us in Cousins Plaza at Sonny Lawson Park for a free, all-day jazz concert dedicated to Mr. Burrell’s life, legacy, and the deep roots of sound that still echo through Five Points. This is more than music — it’s a tribute to a man who paved the way, broke barriers, and inspired generations.

What to expect:
- Live jazz performances from Purnell Steen , Carl Jackson & Park Hill Project
- Free + open to the public
- A moment of community, culture, and celebration in the neighborhood Charles called home

While the park concert is free, a $15 wristband is your ticket to explore the rest of the festival — with shows across six venues in the heart of Five Points.

Come celebrate a legend. Come feel the soul of Denver.
