I've liked or loved all but the last three studio CDs that Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons have put out. I hope that I don't offend other lovers of the Rippingtons and Russ Freeman, but I guess that I'm hooked on their latin flavored songs. I've listened to this CD three times and don't remember anything specific about it. I, by no means, want to discourage others from checking out this CD, but this is a place to review their work so it seems appropriate.I really miss Jeff Kashiwa's playing. The fact that Russ Freeman played so many of the instruments on many of this CD's songs might tend to homogenize the sound somewhat, too. I do like Russ Freeman's CD with David Benoit and Craig Chaquico and all the older Rippington and/or Russ Freeman CDs.
