Reynolds

Jeff Reynolds performed as Bass Trombonist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for over 35 seasons. As well he was often in the recording studios for many of the big Hollywood movies. Mr. Reynolds is the founder of the Moravian Trombone Choir of Downey (California). This group was founded in 1965 and was led for many years by Jeffrey Reynolds, longtime bass trombonist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. From the 1970s onwards, this group attracted many of the best players in the LA area, and under Reynolds's leadership, the choir collected a large repertoire of music composed and arranged specifically for the group, for example the Solemn Intrada for SSAATTBB Posaunenchor by composer Malcolm Forsyth. Reynolds himself is a skilled arranger, and published several of his arrangements in the the late 1970s (see below). He also oversaw two influential recordings of Moravian trombone choir music in 1976 and 1981 that brought this music to a much broader audience.
