With a compact traditional sound and fresh modern ideas this trio presents itself as a natural combination of contradictions. Triplicate is both like minded and independent, subtle and solid, without drums and with groove. Trumpet virtuoso Claudio Roditi said of Triplicate: “A young group dedicated to the roots of jazz music while constantly looking to the future.”
"This is traditional jazz, performed with craftsmenship and enthusiasm. A combination of virtuosity and thoughtfulness, in which the band sound is the most important factor."

"A The Hague based group, which finds support from drummer Eric Ineke every now and then. Being in this metier for years, Ineke shares his gift not with just anybody. On this stick you'll hear why Triplicate gets his approval."

"Triplicate is a tight, rock solid trio, which delivers wonderful goods with their second album Call of the Wild."

“Ellister plays marvellous. Long melodic lines, not always the most obvious notes, and with an almost velvety sound: veiled, but more out there when the music is asking for it” ... “Bob Wijnen, Johnny Daly and Eric Ineke are great accompanists and outstanding soloists."
