Musician

Altin Sencalar is a California-born, Texas-raised, New York-based trombonist, composer, and educator. A Yamaha Performing Artist and Posi-Tone Records artist, Sencalar is both a commanding bandleader and a sought-after sideman.

His wide-ranging résumé includes performances with jazz luminaries such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Christian McBride, Rodney Whitaker, David Sanborn, and Michael Bublé, as well as Motown legends the Temptations and the Four Tops. Drawing on his Mexican and Turkish heritage, Sencalar infuses contemporary jazz with folkloric traditions from both cultures. The result is a sound that is deeply personal, sharply focused, and globally resonant.
