Among contem porary jazz
musicians, it’s long been and un­
written adage that within every
great sideman is a solo artist
waiting to emerge. Known the
world over as the charismatic
saxophone voice of the instru­
m e n ta l

T he
Rippingtons, Jell Kashiwa has
made an extraordinary mark on
the genre over the pas, seven
years by virtue of his world class
performances with the hand both

pieces like the title track.
Kashiwa named the album alter
the Track Walk a Mile because of the
positive altitude and imagery the
rhythm of the track inspired. "Som e­
thing about the beat made me see a
IL
man toting a barge, walking along w ith
a heavy load. It's powerful, hypnotic-
grooves made me sec a certain degree
of triumph over struggle, and although
my intention wasn’t to make any sort ol
concrete social statement.the idea ex­
tends to having compassion for the lives
of our fellow men, trying to belter understand them by

"For me. the greatest difference between playing
with The Rippingtons and doing my own projects is
my ability to spread my wings in new directions," says
Kashiwa. "A fter mastering Russ' great tunes lor so
