The album was recorded at keyboard artist Steve Winwood’s Wincraft Studios in The Cotswolds. As Trevor Mires explains: "Having had the immense pleasure of doing many recordings and gigs together as a horn section, it soon transpired that we had all spent many of our formative years as professional musicians touring and recording with many great salsa, boogaloo, and merengue bands, both in the UK and around the world. Combined with our love for the Latin Jazz idiom, the fast paced, high impact and groovy seed for TRYPL was born.

“We were lucky enough to record at the legendary Wincraft studios, Steve Winwood’s private recording studio. It’s a beautiful location, set in the picturesque countryside of The Cotswolds and it provided the perfect, inspirational setting to make and record music along with some of our favourite musician friends."

“We hope you enjoy this album as much as we enjoyed making it…”

Ryan Quigley commented further, saying, “We are extremely proud to be releasing this exciting and timely album with the Ubuntu Music record label. It has been a joy from concept to recording and I can’t wait to share the high energy, feel-good vibe of TRYPL!”

Paul Booth further elaborated, commented, “This project was the result of the friendship between three musicians, getting together to make great music. I released my previous album, ‘Travel Sketches’, on Ubuntu Music and the relationship with Martin (Hummel) has been a real success. We believe Ubuntu is just the right home for TRYPL”.
