Recognition

Mike Hobart, wrote in the '' Financial Times'' that "Trible has been forging his particular slant on spiritual-modal jazz for decades, delivering his love-is-the-answer message with clear diction, rich tones and a beautifully controlled vibrato. Trible's sonic range adds a dash of Isaac Hayes gravel to the imperious sonorities of Barry White, and, like them, he steeps his voice in the inflections of gospel-soul and the blues. But, having worked with the likes of Pharaoh Sanders and Charles Lloyd, he is equally in control of the nuances and demands of jazz." Andrew Gilbert wrote in '' JazzTimes'' that "few musicians have done more to cultivate the L.A. azzscene over the past four decades" than Trible.
