I really appreciate his art passion. and the fact that he is a photographer and a designer also liking jazz and guitar. I feel like that he is very much like me and i am very much like him ! I feel like if i met him we could talk for hours.
Russ and The Rippingtons are amazing, truly a class act. If you look at the list of musicians that have moved on from The Rippingtons over the years, it really is a "Who's Who" of modern contemporary jazz. Jeff Kashiwa, Kim Stone, Dave Koz, Kenny G, David Benoit, Gregg Karukas, and Tony Morales have all been Rippingtons at one point.
this man's been my biggest inspiration in music and art's harmony. There won't be any other like him. This is the first time I see him talking and it's very amazing getting as many answers as I needed to know. Hope I'll have the pleasure of meeting him one day.
I love their music, but they have so many cd's I dont know where to start.......advice or suggestions?

I have met Russ twice and he is truly a classy guy. I do wish he would have told us what his favorite song is! GRRR!
