Many smooth jazz fans were taken by surprise in early 1999, when Jeff Kashiwa left the Rippingtons after ten years to devote more time to develop his career as a solo artist, but in truth, the popular saxophonist has always had his eye on striking out on his own. Before joining the Ripps in 1989, he led various ensembles at clubs throughout Orange County, California, and he spent much of his down time FROM the his own band, Coastal Access. His two previous solo albums, "Remember Catalina" (1995) and "Walk a Mile" (1997) were critically and commercially acclaimed and laid a perfect foundation for his Native Language debut, "Another Door Opens", in many ways his first major entry INTO the smooth jazz marketplace. |
