The Rippingtons Hideaway

http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/brave-new-world/id75729 One of many gems from The Ripps. This is from "Brave New World" "Hideaway". The Rippingtons are a contemporary group mainly relating to the genres Smooth jazz, Jazz pop, and Crossover jazz. Formed in 1986 by guitarist and band leader Russ Freeman (not to be confused with the jazz pianist of the same name), their career has spanned two decades. With a revolving door of musicians, Freeman has been the only consistent member.

In the early to mid 90s they were more of a jazz/rock instrumental band, but since 1999 they have developed more into the Smooth Jazz genre. Many of their songs have also been played during The Weather Channel's local on the 8's forecast segments. The band's mascot is a smiling, sunglasses-wearing, jazzy "hep cat" which appears in the artwork of all the band's releases and on their official website.

This is my all time favorite Rippingtons hit! This song should be written as a prescription for soothing away the cares of the day! Dr. Terri says, kick back with your favorite beverage, play "Hideaway" by the Rippingtons, and soon you will feel better. Hit "repeat" as often as necessary. Side effects may include, a relaxed feeling, warm smile, an uplifted mood, and the intense desire to hit the repeat button.

I like the baseline on this song. With all due respect to Russ Freeman and Jeff Kashiwa...Tony Morales, Kim Stone and Steve Reid were so important to this band.

Don't know who the knucklehead that doesn't like this but doesn't know Jazz. Nice mellow tones. Thanks for the Posting!

I <3 this song sooo much. I imagine dolphins and sea fun when hearing this song. As well as driving along a highway as the sun is setting or rising. Love it.
