John and Linda Trinckes met just over a year after both of them lost loved ones who passed on. After raising children, working to pay the bills and taking care of others who were seriously ill, they had both put their talents and dreams on hold. John taught music for 38 years, but had always wanted to write original music. Linda wrote poetry and sang, but never pursued songwriting, or sang much in public. Immediately after they met, they began singing together. Now, they have over 100 original songs, many albums or EPs, and a musical. They primarily write smooth jazz and easy listening songs, but have written in several genres, some cross genres and fit in 2 or 3, but are totally unique. Linda writes the lyrics and then John composes the music inspired by the words Linda has written. They record at home; John plays all the instruments and tracks. Linda is the featured singer. Their music is published through CDBaby and distributed to all the major distributors. Sincerely yours, John and Linda Trinckes

a
magical and fun world of playing Santa. In particular, this song showcases John's lively and
emotional musical skills. In this cut, Linda demands the listener's attention with an almost
theatrical energy that is deeply engaging. The last song, “Growing Old Together” is a more
introspective offering from these artists. It explores the strong commitment and intimate
companionship that comes with a relationship that stands the test of time. This cut reminds me
of
classic Paul McCartney love songs such as “Calico Sky” and “Somedays” to name but a few. “ By

In Jazz Corner August 7, 2018, “ John Joseph Trinckes and Linda Ellen Brown-Trinckes have
lovely
chemistry on new album. A strong personal bond is not the only thing that John Joseph Trinckes
and
Linda Ellen Brown-Trinckes have in common: they also share a fantastic affinity for music, and
they
are kindred creative spirits. Their amazing chemistry really transpires beautifully on their most
recent release project, Just Crusin With Jazz. This is a sweet, warm and tastefully crafted effort
which highlights the couples passion as well as their versatility and broad creative scope when it
comes to original composition. Just Crusin With Jazz is particularly remarkable Because it feels
both
innovative and traditional, combining old-school class with modern-day clarity. The lovely
production allows for more room and space, giving off a sense of organic power, much like
listening
to these musicians as they would be performing to an audience. The intimate quality of these
recordings elevate it among many other smooth-jazz albums.” www://johnandlindatrinckes.com
