Neil Tesser has said some nice things about me before in reviews of my work with Curtis Stigers, and even the occasional nice thing to me face to face (you know that’s a joke if you’ve ever met him). In his list of Yuletide Jazz CDs he includes A TRI-FI Christmas and has this to say:

Mark Corroto over at All About Jazz gave A TRI-FI Christmas a glowing review saying it just might be “this year’s finest jazz Christmas offering.” Thanks for listening and for all the nice words. Just what I need to put me in the holiday spirit! Now where’s my eggnog?

The folks at DownBeat were nice enough to include the new TRI-FI Christmas CD in their Holiday Music Roundup. They even had some nice words about us:

My 3rd CD of original music with the collaborative trio, TRI-FI, was released earlier this year.  I’m really excited about the music and the recording quality on this one. I hope you’ll check it out!

We recorded at a great studio in NYC, and this new album is made up of entirely original compositions. It’s recorded with obsessive attention to sound quality and we all think it’s our best outing to date – and we hope you enjoy it! Give it a listen.
