I ran across a thread on reddit about The Rippingtons where the OP asked for suggestions of bands that are as good as The Rippingtons. The most common suggestions were Spyro Gyra, Crusaders, Yellowjackets and the band, T-Square. T-Square is a Japanese jazz fusion band with a huge catalog, and this is the first album of theirs that I've listened to. I have to say, they are similar to The Rippingtons. Russ Freeman produced 4 of their songs on the album, Natural.

 

Here's a link to their catalog:
