The Rippingtons were absolutely fabulous!
by AllJazzNut on 10/5/09King Center for the Performing Arts - MelbourneRuss Freeman (guitar) and Jeff Kashiwa (alto and soprano sax etc.) were just tremendous! Rico Belled was the baseman and did a fabulous job and really rocked out on his solo - brought the house to its feet. So did Dave Karasony for his solo on the drums. Bill Heller on the keyboards did a great job throughout and added lots of interest. Just a great performance by all, never once looked at the watch. It never got dull, always great music with a rocked out ending. Jeff Kashiwa always brings me out to a concert, he is always worth listening to with his great performances! Russ continues his great performances and great music!
