Fans
that have followed Russ Freeman and The Rippingtons know he has a
penchant for naming songs and albums after exotic places. The latest,
Cote D'Azur, taps into a spirit that's deeper and more transcendent
than any other group project to date.
All of the songs on Cote
D'Azur tell stories of Freeman's travels in France with his wife Yaredt
Leon. Cote D'Azur is book ended with songs they wrote together.
"This
is the best album I've ever written," he says, "and unlike on any other
Rippingtons recording, the music is a pristine crystallization of the
way I first heard it in my head. I think the incredible cultural
connection between France and America hit me one night in Nice.
Personnel: Russ Freeman, Jeff Kashiwa, Rico Belled, Bill Heller, Dave Karasony.
On

with them is their trademark jazz cat, by artist Bill Mayer, who again
graces the CD cover art.
