Selected Quotes from CD Reviews, Press, Respected Educators & Performers
“Realization”- D Clef Records
International Trombone Association Journal July 2020 Edition; Writer, Jett Walker
“What immediately stand out is the absolute virtuosity Glassman and Sencalar exhibit in their playing. As a trombonist, it’s difficult not to be in awe of the ease and beauty with which both players perform.”
“Sencalar provides a brilliance in his sound with crystal clear articulations and impressive control of the wide possibilities of the instrument. In addition to both trombonists’ virtuosity, they perform with convincing melodic and harmonic mastery. meriting their solo work several listens.”
Stereophile Magazine August 2020 Edition; Writer, Thomas Conrad;
“Sencalar and Glassman sound like 21st Century prodigy grandchildren of JJ Johnson & Kai Winding.” 4/5 Stars rating
All About Jazz April 2020; Writer, Hrayr Attarian;
“For this bop-based session Sencalar and Glassman recruited a band of both up-and-coming and established musicians. The result is a very cohesive quintet/sextet which effortlessly, and with supreme camaraderie, interprets the delightful mix of originals and covers.” 3.5/5 Stars rating
Last Row Music April 2020; Writer, Jeremy Smith;
“Out of the eleven tracks, six tunes are original charts written by the duo. This shows the immensely, high-level skills in composing from Sencalar and Glassman and brings a much more personal voice to this album. The duo’s musical conversations are genuine and honest with a stellar list comping in the background – Rodney Whitaker (bass), Zachary Adleman (drums), Addison Frei (piano), with Nathan Borton (guitar). With the expertly written liner notes by jazz writer David Adler, Realization is a complete, exemplary album.” No rating system.
Jazz Bob May/June 2020 Newsletter; Writer, Bob Bernotas;
“trombonist Altin Sencalar and bass trombonist Chris Glassman have put together a debut outing that truly is a realization of the co-leaders’ artistry and maturity. But Revelation might have been an even more apt title, for it reveals a happy truth: In the hands of Sencalar and Glassman the future of the trombone in jazz is healthy and secure.” No rating system instead listed as a “Recommended Album”
Midwest Record February 2020; Writer, Chris Spector;
“Swinging and bopping like true old souls, they are perfecting the modern version of the blowing date showing it to be in fine hands.”

“Introducing Altin Sencalar”- All-Tone Records
International Trombone Association Quarterly Magazine April 2020; Writer, Deb Scott;
“A trombonist as well as a euphonium player, he makes his debut into the recording scene with a solid jazz concept and flair.”
Scott Yanow Blog May 2017; Writer, Scott Yanow
“Introducing Altin Sencalar is the recording debut as a leader of an impressive young trombonist. Altin Sencalar. Based in Austin, Texas, Sencalar has already gained a wide variety of musical experiences and developed an original style on trombone. On this enjoyable CD, Sencalar plays trombone and occasionally euphonium, contributing seven originals and also playing fresh versions of two standards. His group is filled with up-and-coming players.”
The Austin Chronicle July 2017; Writer, Jay Trachtenberg
“satisfying in its own right is the debut from Austin trombonist Altin Sencalar. A straight-ahead affair of primarily originals, the comfortable sound centers around the leader and his rhythm section with a saxophone or trumpet included on some tracks. Pianist Ross Margitza proves a splendid foil as a soloist and graceful in a supporting role. Sencalar's funky "It's 2am" and Lee Morgan's "Ceora" lead the pack.” 3/5 Stars.
Andre Hayward, International Jazz Trombone Soloist, 2003 Thelonius Monk Competition Winner on “Introducing Altin Sencalar”
“I truly enjoyed listening to every song on Altin’s debut recording. His trombone and euphonium playing projects absolute soul, warmth, and elegance. Altin’s compositions are extremely tasteful and I enjoyed his treatment of the standard repertoire. Wonderful selection of sidemen. Jazz trombone is in good hands.”
John Fremgan, Associate Professor of Jazz Studies, The University of Texas at Austin on “Introducing Altin Sencalar”
“Altin Sencalar plays with a unique blend of passion, soul, and technique. While his improvisation draws from the fire and intensity of R&B and Latin Jazz, they are simultaneously rooted up in the jazz tradition. He is an artist to be on the lookout for and his recording begs for multiple listens.”
Jeff Hellmer, Director of Jazz Studies, University of Texas at Austin on “Introducing Altin Sencalar”
“Altin plays with fire, authority, and honesty. The energy and enthusiasm Altin and his band brings to this record (Introducing Altin Sencalar) fuels my optimism about the future of jazz.”
John Mills, Internationally Acclaimed Composer, Professor of Jazz Composition and Saxophone, University of Texas at Austin on “Introducing Altin Sencalar”
“This is a strong opening statement from trombonist Altin Sencalar, showcasing his great command of the horn, remarkable for both his power and range. His signature as a soloist is the rhythmic authority that he brings to every phrase. It’s also great to hear Altin’s emerging voice as an inventive composer/ arranger in this quartet/ quintet setting.”
Tom Mench, Jupitar XO Artist on “Introducing Altin Sencalar”
“After having played several gigs with Altin Sencalar, I’ve marveled over his musical improvisation and interpretation. With technique reminiscent of Carl Fontana and Frank Rosolino he also portrays the expressive capabilities and lyricality of J.J. Johnson.”
