I saw them live in 1994 at the Star Light Theater in Kansas City Mo. what a great performance! I am sad to hear that Russ Freeman has retired but their music is still out!
i’ve been listening since 92 i can say i hear their songs literally every day See them live in person if you can in your lifetime great band , Russ Freeman is the best !!!
Russ Freeman is incredibly talented and versatile. Over the years I have seen Rippingtons members come and go and yet all of them were excellent musicians. I understand his concept to keep the Rippingtons fresh and vibrant and to keep the band going and going.This is why he relates to keeping the Rippingtons brand intact,rather than suffering a breakup like the Beatles. Another one of my all time favorites. He holds it together....... till today. While listening to his music, I am fascinated, it just amazes me how he conceives and arranges all the melodies.ie. Snowbound. He can go from Funk, to latin to classical to fusion to modern smooth jazz with ease! Guy is simply a musical genius! I have the entire collection! To say the least, it's one of my most prized possessions. Music is indeed food for the Soul. Thanks Russ and The Rippingtons.
I have seen the Rippingtons 4 times in concert, and every time there is no disappointment, the music is alway fantastic, and after the show's they are always friendly and there to meet the fans and give out autographs. Can't wait to see them again.
Ahh so. Found them on Tourist in Paradise, reversed to Moonlighting, then got every release since. Timeless. Russ Freeman is one of the most prolific writers of this age...Some of his stuff is similar, but I never cared. Yum.
Russ Freeman Guitarist, great writer founder; loved him since Nocturnal Playground fabulous Album. Humphrey 's - Temecula Winery . Steve Reid percussion , Drummer Tony Morales ; Jeff Kashawa . Smooth Jazz at it's finest !
Mine also, Julie. I first learned of their music in the early 1990s via The Weather Channel. I then subscribed to Jazz IS magazine.GRP Records and Jazz artists were tight at that time.
Saw these guys for the first time performing at the Arena Theater in Houston. They blew me out my socks with their latin, soul, funk, smooth jazz along with lots of brass to go with it. Fell in love with their music ever since. Thanks a million Russ.
So unbelievably good, I was into jazz big time as a kid, then grew away from it, but have recently fell in love with music without lyrics again, and I am drawn to this group majorly, I love their stuff so much
I've been wanting to see the Rippingtons play in concert for a long time. One of my favorite albums is Topaz with a special native indian flute player. Well I just checked, guess I'm heading to Austin next June 2019 to see them.
6:44 I love when Russ steps aside (no ego) & then every one of them watches with a sense of awe & wonder when Master Saxophonist, Brandon Fields, plays his solo. Even though they've ween him play countless times before. B. Fields is incredible!

Great sound. Hadn't heard much from The Rippingtons as I've always been hooked on "Polo in the Palisades". THANKS for uploading this, and to youtube for adding it to my playlist.
Ricco is something else.often times we are disappointed when a member of the band leaves.our fear is that something will be lost.kim stone was great for rippingtons. But ricco brings his delectable repertoire
ES INCREHIBLE QUE ESTE GRUPO SEA DE RIPINTONG Y DONDE QUEDA ROSS FRIMAN ESTE GUY SOLO FUE APARIENCIA PARA DAR A CONOCER SU NOMBRE PORQUE NO TENIA QUE SER. ROSS FRIMAN Y DE RIPINGTON.

I have the entire collection! To say the least, it's one of my most prized possessions. Music is indeed food for the Soul. Thanks Russ and The Rippingtons.
Could not agree with you more. I own most of their albums and listen to them far more than any other albums I own.
Agree
I could not agree, more!!!
I have seen the Rippingtons 4 times in concert, and every time there is no disappointment, the music is alway fantastic, and after the show's they are always friendly and there to meet the fans and give out autographs. Can't wait to see them again.
They always take me to an island paradise no matter how crappy my day is! Absolutely luv them🙏
Found them on Seattle radio back in the 80’s..Changed my life (and musical tastes) forever!
The melodies are breathtaking. Glad to see they are still going strong!
On of my favorite smooth jazz groups. They never disappoint.
Ahh so. Found them on Tourist in Paradise, reversed to Moonlighting, then got every release since. Timeless.
Russ Freeman is one of the most prolific writers of this age...Some of his stuff is similar, but I never cared. Yum.
OMG, Kit. My feelings exactly. Saw then live decades ago. Will stay with me forever.
My favorite smooth jazz group of all time...never, ever tire of them...ever...so classically timeless...
JULIE JENKINS me too but don’t miss special efx 😉
I saw these guys and Yellowjackets on the same venue in Orchestra Hall Chicago. It was pure magic.
So right, Julie. Hope you got to see them in person.
Russ Freeman Guitarist, great writer founder; loved him since

This music simply moves me like no other......that's the test. If it doesn't make you feel, then it goes on the scrap heap. A 1% for sure......
Saw these guys for the first time performing at the Arena Theater in Houston. They blew me out my socks with their latin, soul, funk, smooth jazz along with lots of brass to go with it. Fell in love with their music ever since. Thanks a million Russ.
so many wonderful & precious memories.. all through the years.. don't know how to move on when they are no more..
Love Russ Freeman... he is a genius!
Bravo, Russ, you and the guys defined the 80s for me.
Just found this in 2021...in middle of quarantine...Thank you !

I got to see them live at Pasadena Jazzfest- Kim was still there, Eric Marienthal on sax, was a great show.
