“After hearing TRI-FI, I would nominate this exciting group to membership in the “trio” fraternity...These guys take on the Jazz Trio challenge and deliver a “knock out” punch.”

Reviews of A TRI-FI Christmas
(2011) Ho ho ho! Check out our collection of 12 holiday classics done up in our own special TRI-FI way. Even though we recorded it in the middle of summer, we had a lot of fun making this album. We wore Santa hats. We drank eggnog. We took requests. And we hope you’ll enjoy it just as much as we enjoyed recording it.
