Live In L.A. (1993)

"Any truehearted devotee of the Rippingtons Featuring Russ Freeman knows their two secrets: First and foremost, it's those lush, ultra-melodic Freeman compositions. Beyond those, the band has attracted fans the world over with one of the most exciting and dynamic live shows in instrumental music. This is first and foremost a project for an inspired by the Ripps' loyal fan base. The band's commitment to an always high intensity live set, with an ever evolving repertoire of old favorites and new gems. The core group of Freeman (guitar), Jeff Kashiwa (sax and EWI), Kim Stone (bass), Mark Portmann (keyboards), Steve Reid (percussion), and Tony Morales (drums) is complemented by the sassy textures of a three-piece horn section and cameos by GRP labelmates David Benoit and singer Carl Anderson. Highlights include "Indian Summer," "Weekend in Monaco," the lush "One Summer Night in Brazil," and the explosive jam "Highroller." (Allmusic)
