"Like Varese, Jeff has seemed to find and write for many beautiful and unrecognized percussion sounds that we haven’t heard before. I love how Jeff mixes electronics, samples, and acoustic instruments and uses our own perspectives to frame his music. Wonderful!" 

- Mark Griffith (Modern Drummer)

"Tripoli's recording Natural Habitat explores an engaging and exciting approach to modern instrumental music. From the first note to last I was transported through a sonic exploration that included percussion and a vast collection of sounds found in many natural environments." 

- Joe Barna (NYS Music)

"I keep my creativity alive by giving myself permission to play the fool. Life is short, and the habits of day-to-day survival often leave little time for creative passion. For many, it’s hard just to get by, let alone nurture the spark of imagination. But how we spend our time matters. Are we truly doing what’s important to us?" 

- Rahul Singh (Bold Journey)

“This ethos and free-flowing spirit are captured exquisitely throughout Jeff’s most recent album, the avant-minded Natural Habitat, a set of twelve compositions with an appreciation of the wide landscapes around them, and rhythmic responses to these expansive pictures. It is truly a brilliant snapshot of this musician’s innovative and transformative approach to art.”

- Thomas Hilton (Aldora Britain Records)
