3	Welcome to the St. James' Club (1990) more music like this by The Rippingtons add to wishlist First class fusion from guitarist Russ Freeman and company.

4	Moonlighting (1987) more music like this by The Rippingtons add to wishlist Released in 1986, this album not only stands as a genre-defining primer on what has become known as smooth jazz, but it also helped launch the careers of various artists whose music has been crucial to the genre's vitality.

6	Live in L.A. (1992) more music like this by The Rippingtons/Russ Freeman add to wishlist Any truehearted devotee of the Rippingtons Featuring Russ Freeman knows the two secrets of their unparalleled success in the contemporary jazz world over the course of numerous releases since 1986.

7	Wild Card (2005) more music like this by The Rippingtons add to wishlist Smooth jazz stalwarts the Rippingtons infuse their trademark brand of instrumental pop with a Latin aesthetic on Wild Card.

Evenly split between R&B-inflected cuts such as the ... see all copies from £3.90! new only from £5.52!
8	Sounds of Wood and Steel (1998) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist Conceived as a tribute to Taylor guitars, this recording manages to transcend any stereotypes of projects dedicated to the advancement of a business principle or product. That's due to the quality of the performers, the pieces they play, and the passion they bring to them. There's really not a misstep in the bunch. Guitar slingers from Russ ... see all copies from £3.41! new only from £5.65!
9	Let It Ripp (2003) more music like this by The Rippingtons add to wishlist On Let It Ripp, the contemporary jazz masters known as the Rippingtons offer a mixed exhibition of musical paintings that freely roam their "live" aesthetic more than on any previous studio project.

10	Life in the Tropics (2000) more music like this by The Rippingtons add to wishlist Life in the Tropics -- the first Peak Records release for the Rippingtons -- features guitarist Russ Freeman and is a great smooth jazz celebration of rhythmic delights that resemble the tropical splendor of an island oasis.

11	Drive (2002) more music like this by Russ Freeman add to wishlist Since the Rippingtons do Russ Freeman's bidding, he hasn't found it necessary to do a full-fledged, regular solo album since he founded the group in 1986. (There have been duo albums with David Benoit and Craig Chaquico as well as a solo holiday record, however.) But listeners "started encouraging me to 'step out' more and to play more guitar," he ... see all copies from £7.57! new only from £7.57!
12	Curves Ahead (1991) more music like this by The Rippingtons With Russ Freeman add to wishlist For a number of years, Rippingtons mastermind Russ Freeman had a hard time approaching the inspirational pop jazz perfection of 1989's Tourist in Paradise, but this fifth group album came close with its hummable compositions, eclectic blend of tempor, emphasis on acoustic piano and guitar, and wondrous musicianship. As a composer, Freeman has a ... see all copies from £3.11!
13	Live! Across America (2000) more music like this by The Rippingtons add to wishlist While most artists merely appreciate the applause of their fans, Russ Freeman and his Rippingtons literally take requests; though they had put out Live in L.A. in 1993, their rabid fans flooded the band's official website with requests for another live date, and this set (recorded in numerous locations throughout the U.S. on 1999's Topaz tour) is ... see all copies from £7.57! new only from £7.57!

16	Benoit/Freeman Project 2 (2004) more music like this by David Benoit/Russ Freeman add to wishlist Creatively, David Benoit has had his ups and downs over the years. The pianist/keyboardist has recorded more than his share of forgettable smooth jazz albums, but he has also provided some decent straight-ahead discs that were greatly influenced by Bill Evans (the pianist, not the saxophonist). This 2004 release, however, doesn't fall into either ... see all copies from £10.60!
17	Brave New World (1995) more music like this by Russ Freeman/Rippingtons add to wishlist On their eighth outing, Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons turn in a typically eclectic outing, the lively, melodic Freeman tunes serving as staging areas for his electric and acoustic guitar excursions.

19	Safe at Home (2005) more music like this by Russ Freeman add to wishlist see all copies from £9.10! new only from £9.10!
20	Black Diamond (1997) more music like this by The Rippingtons add to wishlist After nearly a decade at GRP Records, smooth jazz's premier ensemble made a very successful switch to Windham Hill with this recording inspired by leader Russ Freeman's ski adventures in his adopted home of Colorado. Their tenth album continues the band's recent successful ventures into urban-flavored music while also showcasing Freeman's amazing ... see all copies from £3.11! new only from £5.70!
21	Double Play (1957) more music like this by Russ Freeman add to wishlist see all copies from £18.07!
22	Trio with Richard Twardzik (1957) more music like this by Russ Freeman With Richard Twardzik add to wishlist This single CD contains 12 performances by pianist Russ Freeman (with either Joe Mondragon or Monty Budwig on bass and drummer Shelly Manne) plus the one regular studio session (eight songs) that ill-fated pianist Richard Twardzik led (in a trio with bassist Carson Smith and drummer Peter Littman). Due to its rarity, the Twardzik date is more ... see all copies from £42.76!
23	One on One (2001) more music like this by Russ Freeman & Shelly Manne add to wishlist A Japanese recording team took down this amazingly satisfying duo session, originally released on the Atlas label and reissued with a brace of alternate takes almost two decades later. It's a long-delayed sequel to a duo recording that the pair made in 1954 on a 10" Contemporary LP, and it carries some historical poignance. Freeman, who wrote the ... see all copies from £7.42!
24	A Brownstones & Moonlight: Celebration of Black Music Month (1994) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist see all copies from £2.49! new only from £2.49!
