Weekend in Monaco is the sixth album by the American jazz group the Rippingtons, released in 1992. [2] [3] The album reached No. 2 on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz chart. It has sold more than 300,000 copies. [4]
The Washington Post wrote: "Guitarist Russ Freeman, who now gets top billing in the band, deserves some credit for trying to reflect the band's world travels in its music, but the results are often so tame and homogenized that one has to ask the question, why bother?" [5] The Globe and Mail stated that "Freeman's formula for assertively tuneful fusion—modestly dramatic, light on raunch—works well enough again on Weekend in Monaco to sustain Rippingtons' high ranking among the idiom's second-generation, West-Coast bands."
