.: EUGE GROOVE
For all you jazz diggers, "Livin' Large" is an absolute must for the next get down party on the calendar. Euge Groove delivers one of the best urban, contemporary jazz & R&B instrumental albums in a long time. The first track set the tone for the whole CD. It's one of those head bobbin' cuts that carry you into the next track. By this time, you are ready to hit the dance floor. When I say Euge Groove is groovin', he is fa' sho' tearing up the club. Groove adds a touch of hip-hop and nails it with an old favorite by Sly and the Family Stone. Groove knows how to pump it up and slow it down. I need not say anymore. "Livin' Large" speaks for itself. A definite for the party people.

.: PAUL BROWN
Producer-composer-arranger-engineer. Paul Brown may be GRP's newest artist, but by no means is he new to the industry. Brown has produced some of smooth jazz heavyweights like Boney James, Kirk Whalum, and Peter White, just to name a few. Well, Brown should now add his own name to the list because Up Front is the total smooth jazz experience. It makes Brown a true contender. When brown decided to move over into the "musician as a n artist" driving seat, he came to roll. “Wes Coast Swing," "Phat City," "24/7," and “Dear Ndugo" all have one of the nicest millennium West Coast smooth jazz sounds to date. I can hear touches of Wes Montgomery, but Brown has this, as he should. Two snaps and a hello for Paul Brown's Up Front. It's pure satisfaction.
