AQUI & AJAZZ, The Rippingtons "Weekend In Monaco"

[@Edman116]

Live in L.A. is the greatest jazz/fusion album I have ever purchased, and this is one the best that my ears have ever heard.

[@paulscire5763]

Kashiwas's tone is so unmistakable on every horn. He's such a humble guy, too. I had the pleasure of working with him last summer.

[@mykol404]

One of the greatest songs ever written and played. Love these guys. I was 6 years old when I first listened to them.

[@AlfredoZamudio-b1p]

The Rippingtons! The wonderful guitar of Russ Freeman and the sax of Jeff Kashiwa make this show wonderful!

[@Media-oq9ux]

All time favorite band for over 35 yrs.

[@Bill_Me]

Perfection….But wait they’re much more. All Hail Russ Freeman and The Ripppingtons. Hey it’s 2022. Time for a new Album 💪🏼👍✌🏼

[@kevp9601]

❤ THE RIPPINGTONS RULE ! ❤

[@carbonbodyworker]

I almost shed a tear seeing that young kid bopping his head at 2.45 to the music,that symbolises how much jazz has a future and a fresh faced generation are gonna carry it on.Its heartwarming as a musician like me to know that. UK bassist 👍👍

[@dstfno]

Even though there are still people like that, definitely a lot less, this video is from the nineties...

[@kevp9601]

❤ FANTASTIC ❤

[@KnightMove5]

I enjoyed playing this in jazz band in high school, played it just one year but what an awesome song

[@bkkersey93]

Love this live version! I say they're in the same sound class as Spyro Gyra.

[@schlankae]

Bassist Kim Stone was in Spyro Gyra I believe

[@kevp9601]

❤ MAGICAL ! ❤

[@peterbluewin2460]

It just makes you happy to hear this music.

[@bukeksiansu2112]

[@schlankae]

My Fave Ripps Lineup

[@rstyknfe]

Saw them at Jazz Alley in Seattle in like 2014. Jeff Kashiwa and I crossed paths on the way to the bathroom; I felt blessed. Looks like the lineup is almost the same. I could recognize that bassist from a mile away.

[@djoonstarr3617]

awesome shot of those kids!

[@jemso245]

Thank you very much, Mr. Rodríguez, for your upload. This is a very good recording, however, I prefer the version of "Live in L. A." with Tony Morales on drums. He has a very good taste to play.

[@StreetFighter2010]

This version sounds more personal and tighter, due to the smaller space and fewer musicians. They are missing the horns section and a second piano and keyboard The Live in L.A. is just epic.

[@clicks59]

Hard to believe Russ Freeman got his start in country music. This info from a friend and former Rippington's bassist.

[@roberticodj]

awesome!

[@yantorusli5434]

magic

[@richyz01]

Nice!

[@21Rushisaband12]

1:36 someone knocked something over on the left side of the screen haha

[@claykonnor]

Dave Kochanski!!

[@luisexebio3583]

Jeff Kashiwa's is very good in this band!!!

[@smoothstate]

What are the keyboards? Anyone knows?

[@kennypr]

smoothstate I think it was a D 50 and some RD down both Roland. On other videos they used a Dx7

[@smoothstate]

@@kennypr You're right - no doubt that it's D-50 at the top and below I think it is Kurzweil PC88 (it has 2 wheel controls on the left while Roland uses pitch bend lever instead)

[@ErrickV73]

Did something happened on Russ's solo?

[@Smittyschannel]

wish they'd freakin tour ohio pennsylvania indiana more often........... it's always california

[@Hank039]

Was that a young Kevin Durant @2:45? LOL

[@finalcutgod]

any idea what year?

[@mikedevars5197]

1992

[@TomiTakamaa]

@@mikedevars5197 Lol, no way 😆

[@TomiTakamaa]

Oh come on, "Live in LA" version was sooooo much better.
