The Rippingtons - Music From A Small Room

[@11streetdog]

I wish I could see them live. I never get bored listening to them.

[@biggussd5473]

Russ Freeman is a genius, I love all his music.

Bigguss D Monty Python ?

[@aartman01]

I've been a big fan since I (somehow) discovered them in 1990. They're always such a pleasure to listen to.

[@MsFellow12]

I have always liked this band.I never get tired of listening to them.

[@gilbertosantiago1658]

This music is so refreshing like a Sunday drive through the Rockies feeling that cool summer breeze

[@Flornmonk]

LOVE the bass player!

[@andreasantoni6896]

With listening to the Rippingtons it feels like I'm being taken out of my hometown, out of my community, and going out west to Western South Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico, all the way to California.

[@DonWorkman]

I never get tired of their music.

[@ncn141953]

I’m getting addicted to the Rippington’s music.

[@baconsledge]

Pat Metheny and Russ Freeman are my favorite!

[@bobwatson1162]

Great choices👍🏻👍🏻 they are Two of the very best!!

[@ericcarlsen9236]

I could listen to his music all day. His tunes reberverate in my mind continually.

[@marcusward5871]

Saw these guys in Norfolk VA 7-14-2017 right before they went to this gig in Hawaii at the Blue Note...They were FANTASTIC!!! This Song "Destiny" is one of my all time favorites. I got to take a picture with Bill Heller the Keyboardist. He was a cool Cat!!!

[@ataru2048]

lucky

[@marcusward5871]

Yes I have always wanted to see these Guys!!! They are the gold standard.

[@paulgrady5079]

I watch for every cd/album they release. Love this band. I know saxist Brandon Fields, great musician is an original member of the group. But gosh I miss Jeff Kashawa.

[@jimdayton8837]

They still sound amazing! Love these guys!

[@drummoyne52xx]

smooth.love this stuff

[@vicoyvidiansyah495]

Never bored to hear destiny..

[@michaeldipiazza8998]

I have been a big fan since the release of Kilimanjaro. I have every one of their albums including Drive and Russ' Christmas album. Yeah, I have been hooked on them for a long long time. I think they are the best Smooth Jazz group.

[@rickoyunanda5036]

Perfect....

[@L00PdeL00P]

I love everything these dudes create

[@paulolsen237]

Outstanding 👌👌👏👏

[@got2bharmony]

Incredibly tight, thumbs up to the whole band everyone playing the perfect part, Russ is very skilled at transitioning from the soft gentle flowing chords/melody to the power chords and staccato fills, one of the best and a unique style. I have all the early Rippingtons albums, yes it's a bit too smooth sometimes but Russ knows how to write a strong melody and lead a super tight band. Must have been great to have sat in on these sessions as the presenter did. Thanks guys I really appreciate it.

[@bbieye]

I Love it!

[@mattweldon5159]

Great vibe!!!!!

[@profesorjorgevillegasctpla5500]

Los conocí el año pasado y de ahí me han parecido simplemente excelente. Excelentísimos temas

[@stevenjepsen5153]

You guys are absolutely awesome and one of the best and most influential groups in jazz / new age music ever. Please continue the work if the ripp force allows!

[@MissingMars]

Russ & the Ripps -can't thank you enough

[@clicks59]

The second tune is from the "Curves Ahead" disc. Most excellent!

[@angelomccurdy]

smooth + cool= The Rippingtons

[@profesorjorgevillegasctpla5500]

Anoche escuché Lost Highway y me enamoré de este grupo y su música. Demasiado bueno. El tipo de música que escucho por horas y que he andado buscando. Solo bueno

[@danlboom2092]

Their concerts sound so much like their recording.Exactly! You'll definitely get your money's worth! Seen them at Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore in 05. Handsdown one of the best concerts of my Life. Any chances of recording another album using original Rippington members? Don't get me wrong ,I like the new guys too,but I miss the old guys as well. lol. Thanks Russ Freeman and The Rippingtons.

[@mrbigarms]

I wish they would come to the UK, unfortunately I dont think they are as well know over here.

[@got2bharmony]

I saw them at the Hammersmith Apollo in London maybe 20 years ago, I think I was lucky I don't see them coming back anytime soon. Great band, one of the best concerts and I've been lucky to see some amazing artists.

[@robertthibert4715]

Nice! Not many live versions of North Star out there.

[@francescbyfm]

Wwooww!!

[@DrumSolVanIsle]

Really enjoyed seeing this incarnation of the Band, including the layout, room and of course the line up. Percussionist probably out surfing, and getting paid too ;)

[@rubenchavarriamarquez6893]

HOY MES DE FEBRERO DEL 2021 9 DIA FELEZ QUIRO PENSAR QUE SE TRMINO LA DISCORDIA DEL GPO. O NO . ?

[@kvergoossen]

Love the Rippingtons! What is the brand name of the guitar what Russ is using?

[@yoyotube0629]

highest quality jazz..

[@Nontacticalboy]

I know jacob collier is a genius, but sometimes, "simpler" music like these shines better emotions than the overwhelmingly hyper caffeinated arrangements.

[@alexandrecardoso6465]

Russ Freeman the best

[@rw3423]

I'd call it Jammin from a small room😃🤗

[@frankf.6639]

Brandon fields ? 🎷

[@syscoby226]

[@frankf.6639]

cool cats 🐈 for ever

[@delstanley1349]

At first I thought the sax and bass players were the Salamanca twins on "Breaking Bad" and "Better Call Saul."

[@jacksonporciuncula]

Do you have new members in the band?

[@Rheems1]

This is the current touring line up, most of these guys have been here for quite a few years... on Saxophone is Brandon Fields who is the latest addition to the group but he was the original sax player for The Rippingtons so he is back as compared to new and sometimes Jeff Kashiwa still plays with them instead of Brandon. Rico Belled is on bass, he replaced Kim Stone in 2009 (I am in the minority in preferring Rico over Kim). Bill Heller is on keyboard but has been there since 2001 along with Dave Karasony on the drums, so most of these people have been there for quite awhile.

[@TheLatinBlast]

Anyone knows who is the drummer?

[@TheLatinBlast]

Dave Karasony!

[@alexbakale2553]

The 4 dislikes on this are all from the drummer because the room wasn't big enough for his beats

[@alexbakale2553]

errr.. I mean fills

[@유니즌]

아재 몇년안본사이에 많이 늙으셨네 담에 하와이갈때 함봅시다 ㅎㅎ

[@clicks59]

I guess the keyboard player didn't get the "wear a black shirt" memo.
