Reginald Cyntje at DC JazzFest

Reginald Cyntje is a 21st century jazz renaissance man, as equally dedicated to his ongoing trombone craft as he is to his work as director of jazz studies at DC’s famed Duke Ellington School of the Arts.  As a potent trombone man he has often displayed island sensibilities in his music, reflecting his Virgin Islands upbringing, steeped in the VI music culture known as Quelbe.  To date he has made seven albums as a leader, the latest being 2024’s Gentle Touch, which will doubtless guide his DCJF ’24 performance.
