Smooth Jazz Saxophonist Euge Groove Offers Sunday Morning
Smooth jazz saxophonist Euge Groove today, October 27, releases his sixth solo CD, Sunday Morning. He calls it an expansion of his last CD, Born 2 Groove, which features the current Smooth Jazz Top 20 hit “Slow Jam.”
The 10-song CD has all original songs, including the title track and “Get Ready,” “As You Like It,” “Say My Name,” “Tenderly” and “The Gospel Truth,” among others. Musicians include guitarists Paul Brown – who also mixed the CD – and Jubu Smith, pianists Tracy Carter and Joel Campbell, bassists Cornelius Mims, Alex Al and Roberto Vally, drummer Oscar Seaton and percussionist Lenny Castro. Philippe Saisse arranges strings on three tracks, while Michael Egizi plays the Hammong B3 organ on the title track and Dax Reynosa is featured on lead vocals on “Yes.”
Groove will be performing November 5 to November 8 in Seattle. On November 18, he will be one of several smooth jazz artists on the five-day Jammin’ in Jamaica event assembled by fellow saxophonist Warren Hill.
