Get the rippington mug.A smooth jazz ensemble with a revolving door of musicians, with Russ Freeman as the only entity of continuity. The Rippingtons lasted from 1985 to 2020. It featured Kenny G, Dave Koz, Jeff Kashiwa, Gregg Karukas, Kim Stone, Eric Marienthal, Kirk Whalum, and much much more. The Rippingtons take their inspiration from the United State, Japan, Spain, The Caribbean, Native America, the Sahara, and other places around the world. Their mascot is the Jazz cat.
When I listen to The Rippingtons I feel like I'm traveling out west to Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and California on a road trip.
