+----------------------------------[Notes]-----------------------------------+
| |
| One of the most successful smooth jazz saxophonists, Jeff Kashiwa made |
| his name as a member of the popular group the Rippingtons. Starting out |
| on the clarinet at age ten, it would be two years before the Seattle- |
| born musician switched to saxophone. Influenced early on by such smooth |
| jazz progenitors as Chuck Mangione and Spyro Gyra, Kashiwa eventually |
| moved to Boston to attend Berklee College and developed an interest in |
| straight-ahead jazz ù a skill that often colors his live performances. |
| His hard work paid off when he landed the second alto chair in Disney's |
| All American College Band. Kashiwa found he liked Southern California |
| and transferred to Cal State Long Beach to work on his Bachelors of |
| Music. During this time he toured with the ska/reggae group the |
| Untouchables performing on MTV's first Spring Break. Later, while |
| working at a grocery store by day and playing at night, Kashiwa hired |
| bassist Steve Bailey ù then with the Rippingtons ù to play on a gig. |
| Bailey introduced Kashiwa to the Rippingtons' pianist and leader Russ |
| Freeman who hired Kashiwa in 1989 when the group's original saxophonist, |
| Brandon Fields, left the group. It was during this time with the |
| Rippingtons that Kashiwa recorded two solo albums, Remember Catalina in |
| 1995 and Walkamile in 1997. Then, in 1999, he left the Rippingtons to |
| concentrate more energy on his own band, Coastal Access. Kashiwa's solo |
| career has been in joyfully frenetic overdrive since the incredible |
| success of "Hyde Park (The Aah, Ooh Song)," a number one hit on the |
| Radio & Records airplay chart for over eight weeks in 2000. His Native |
| Language debut Another Door Opens and its more acoustic oriented 2002 |
| follow-up Simple Truth established him as one of smooth jazz's most |
| dominant saxophone voices, and he's consistently performed 60-80 shows |
| annually with Coastal Access in addition to heavy gigging with artists |
| like Joyce Cooling, Chieli Minucci and Acoustic Alchemy, frequent |
| collaborator and co-producer Chuck Loeb, and for several years as part |
| of the the Sax Pack, touring with Steve Cole and Kim Waters. In 2006, he |
| reunited with the Rippingtons for the group's 20th Anniversary Tour and |
| appeared as a guest on the band's 20th Anniversary release. In the |
| summer of 2007, he was featured on more live dates with the Rippingtons |
| and released his fourth Native Language disc Play. |
