Steven Eugene Grove (born November 27, 1962) , better known as Euge Groove, is an American smooth jazz saxophonist with a strong Top-40 background.
Born in Annapolis, Maryland, he graduated from the University of Miami School of Music in 1984. A rather late-bloomer in the genre, Grove did not record his first solo album until 2000. Prior to that, he had replaced Richard Elliot in the Tower of Power when Elliot decided to pursue a solo career, and he also did session work with various pop acts, most noticeably the Miami girl group Exposé. He has a sax solo on their #1 hit "Seasons Change," and another on their 1993 hit "I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me)."
Grove adopted the name Euge Groove, which consists of a shortening of his middle name and a very frequent mispronunciation of his last. While initially it was presumed to be coined by fans who saw him perform in Europe, Grove later indicated in an interview on XM Radio during the summer of 2006 that his Mother-in-Law conceived the idea for his stage name.
Euge Groove's best-known solo hits include "Sneak a Peek (Album Version)," "Slam Dunk," "Rewind," "Livin' Large" and "XXL." His most recent hits include "Get 'Em Going" and "Chillaxin'." Solid albums include; Livin' Large (2004) and Play Date (2002).
Has done world tours with:
Joe Cocker (1994 -1995, 1997, 1999, opening act 2005)
Tina Turner(2000)
Eros Ramazotti (1996, 1998, 2003-2004)
Richard Marx (1990 - 1994)

Euge Groove Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
As the lyrics to the song are not provided, it is impossible to provide an interpretation of them. However, the instrumental component of a song can also be analyzed and interpreted for its meaning and significance.
In Euge Groove's song "Livin' Large," the instrumentals are smooth and groovy, featuring saxophones, keyboards, and a driving beat. The song's title suggests a sense of extravagance and living without limits, and the instrumentals reflect this sentiment. The saxophone solos are soulful and passionate, adding a layer of emotion to the upbeat rhythms. The keyboards and drums provide a solid foundation for the rest of the song, lending a sense of stability and structure to the otherwise free-flowing melodies.
One interpretation of the instrumentals in "Livin' Large" is that they represent the feeling of being carefree and uninhibited. The saxophone solos express a sense of freedom and abandon, while the drums and keyboards maintain a steady rhythm, symbolizing that even when one is living without limits, there is still structure and order in the world.

With the huge glut of sax players these days, a lot of them very ordinary, Euge Groove is one of the few I know can really blow that sax. You can feel something in his playing that you don't feel or hear in most others. Great talent is rare

I freakin' love this song! Probably one of my favourite instrumentals of all time. I had the pleasure of meeting this man and his family on a smooth jazz cruise a few years ago. After just one listen of this song on Wave 94.7 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, I was hooked! Total ear candy!
