Back in late 1993,Russ Freeman was airing some regrets about letting his solo career go in favor of maintaining the Rippingtons, his mighty successful band. How could he explore his artistic side when fans expect the pop sound of the Rippingtons? Freeman has worked on getting his guitar sound to be more of a part of the Rippingtons sound, starting by stripping away lots of the synthesizers and overdubbing that made albums such as Tourist In Paradise and Welcome To The St. James Club such technological treats. And now he really had a chance to strut his stuff, teaming up with longtime friend and contemporary jazz master, David Benoit. The two have collaborated on what will probably be one of the top releases of 1994. The Benoit/Freeman Project.
This cut is called 'Reunion' from their first collaberation album. Super tasty guitar licks by Freeman and smooth, stylish keyboard work from Benoit - especially the B3 stuff. It's worth a listen.
Here's the full first album free from Amazon Music.
