Trifle Nippy accompanied by the strings of the chamber orchestra of the People's Republic of China, from his seminal (but now sadly deleted) 1970 album "Freezy Livin'". After the head the strings launch into a robust rendition of Barry Harris' solo from the Eddie Jefferson vocalese version of 'So What'.  Trifle's pithy sixteen bars is interrupted by a robust viola solo which quotes both 'Royal Garden Blues' and 'Freedom Jazz Dance'.

Woe Swat?!!

From Trifle's 1976 album 'Nippin' the Vodka on the Volga', made in collaboration with the Red Army Choir, this shows Trifle dipping a tentative toe into the fusion style of the day, while the windswept atmosphere of the Russian steppe keeps things suitably frosty Nipstyle!
