Euge Groove, born Steven Eugene Grove, is out to get Smooth Jazz goin' with "Get 'Em Goin'," the lead single from his upcoming CD Just Feels Right. The album, which is slated for release in stores on Aug. 30, is Groove's fourth solo album and second with Narada. After graduating from the University of Miami in 1984 as a classical saxophone major, Groove had his first big break as the sax player on Expose's huge '80s hit "Seasons Change." From there, he had a stint with Tower Of Power and as saxophonist for Richard Marx. But his solo career really got goin' through MP3.com, where within six weeks of posting on the site when it was in its early days, Groove's music went to No. 1 on its jazz chart and was the No. 6 most-listened-to artist overall. By the way, Euge is short for Eugene (his mother-in-law called him Euge), and Groove is a common pronunciation of his last name, Grove, especially in Europe.[radioandrecords.com]
