Wow,,,,33 years ago!! These guys were one the best at their genre!! Still listen to them while walking, driving, biking😊 Mullets make great 🎶 🎵!!

[@Mitch-z1t]

One of the greatest jazz ensembles ever

[@NewWaveEnthusiast]

The world is in desperate need of optimistic music. Here’s to hoping they return for a 40th anniversary tour.

"She Likes to Watch" and "Curves Ahead" are two of my most favorite joints by Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons. 🎵🥁🎷🎸

[@msupusepa]

1991. That’s when music was how music is supposed to be

[@Jamler3]

Tourist was my fave record I had the CD sleeve w me when I saw them on Curves Ahead tour! Russ had the entire band sign the sleeve and signed my copy of Curves! Just a bunch of very talented musicians who are so kind to their fans

One of my favorite jazz bands and Russ Freeman is in my top 5 best Jazz guitarist 😊

[@vikeshharrie7274]

Awesome music....used to love the cd covers

[@Mattshank-uo6jl]

Classic Ripps! Love this song and so many others they do. Was just hanging out with Jeff Kashiwa after a Reza Khan show. Super nice guy and obviously a great sax player. Huge fan of monster bass player Kim Stone as well. Russ Freeman is a musical genius!

[@jerleneh.]

How was like meeting Jeff? He was just at a jazz club in Charlotte NC called the Middle C jazz club in September of this year. I wanted to see him; however, I was out of town. He tends to perform a lot with this Toronto based duo named Four80East. They have some great music as well you should check it out!!!

[@stevekunkle4237]

They are so exciting live!

[@DoobieBounce]

[@46u5v]

[@NeptuneFire88]

[@松谷稔哉]

So coooool!

[@roderickthompson2292]

They were at their best with Jeff, Kim and madman on percussion.

[@xAToGbV2fl]

Yes Steve Reid killed it on percussion.

[@jerleneh.]

@@xAToGbV2fl I didn't know that Steve Reid was the percussionist... Wow!!! thank you for that info.

[@victorcerabino5319]

They just not on that level of the Yellow Jackets, Weckle Band and a few other. But still a good group nice to listen too. I can just put an album on and zone out. Miss the 80s and 90s GRP. WHEN everyone played on everyone's else's albums.

[@davidpearlactorteacherbizman]

What show ? The host ? Rick Dees

[@xAToGbV2fl]

Steve Reid absolutely letting go on percussion.

[@carlosjohnson5778]

My buddy Kim Stone holding down that Bass!!!
