John Trinckes and Linda Trinckes: A Crazy Jazzy Christmas
Florida-based John Trinckes and Linda Trinckes are not just a duo; they're a married couple. The two only met less than three years ago after losing their respective spouses but have been releasing a steady stream of music.

The Trinckes have a life-long passion for sharing warm melodies and uplifting songs with their audience. They love jazz, fusion, oldies, and easy listening, and they captured elements of several different genres into their unique sound. Recently, they set out to celebrate the joy of the holidays with this sparkling collection. Unlike most Yuletide efforts, the emphasis here is on original music, which is quite refreshing from the unrelenting repetition in the marketplace. It helps that the tunes are truly memorable as well.

The title cut is a vibrant, sweet, and engaging listen, bringing a positive and uplifting spirit to these wonderful holidays, and it is a fine soundtrack for the amazing communal spirit that is precisely what makes Christmas so incredibly special, unmistakable, and unique. In addition to that, the production of this album—recorded at their home studio—is solid. Every instrument is clear and sticks out of the mix without overpowering any other element in the song. This record is an inspiring blend of passion, appeal, and elegance.
