It says Jeff Kawshiwa is the current sax player on the band roster link on the site.

the sax chair has been rotating between Jeff, PT & Eric - depending upon schedule.
This past February, Mindi played with the band in Florida.
So it really does depend upon the touring schedule. According to his schedule. Jeff is scheduled to be in Texas this weekend. Let us know if it's PT who plays and be sure to wave hello to him!

I saw a thing on BET Jazz a couple of weekends ago with clips from the (I believe) Barbados Jazz Fest and Jeff was with him. The Rippingtons are becoming the "Steely Dan" of smooth jazz, however. I only recognized him, Russ and Kim. Lineup is more fluid than Niagara Falls.

Fluid????
Dave Karasony and Bill Heller have been in the band since 2000.
Scott Breadman played percussion until the 2006 Reunion Tour - Steve Reid returned. Last year, Russ decided to try and give it a go without percussion.
The sax chair has been shared by Jeff, Eric and PT - and again, that started with the 2006 Reunion Tour.

OK. I think you just made my argument for me. It's just my opinion.

I've always looked at all Rippington's releases as "Russ Freeman Projects." The guy writes great music and always has solid support guys for the material.

Yeah, I didn't mean it in a bad way. I've been following The Rippingtons for 20 years and it's no secret that there have been numerous lineup changes. Things happen.

I realize that....Thanks Eric.
I just can't remember him touring.... because I never saw him. That's why I started my list in 1987... even though Moonlighting came out earlier.
But maybe someone from the early gigs remembers...

There were lots of people who recorded.... all along the way.
I was trying to pull together a list of the touring band.
