Best Ever Cool, Smooth Jazz.......2007-03-29

I have all four of Euge Groove's (Steve Grove's) CDs, and this one has impressed me massively. I have a 1-star to 5-star rating system, based on what I hear, how it makes me feel, and how it compares to other jazz in my collection. The ten cuts on this CD scored an astounding seven 5-star and three 4-star ratings. No other jazz CD in my collection has even come close to this. Long live the Groove.

Excellent!.......2004-07-05

I love this cd. It's one of my favorites. "With You I'd Believe" is my favorite song on the cd. It is fabulous. It just may be my favorite song from ALL the cd's I own. It's a wonderfully uplifting song. The only song I didn't like was "Love Me". I don't like when the smooth jazz artists throw in a vocal or two- for me it usually takes away from the cd. However, the other songs were so outstanding, I still give it 5 stars. I just skip over that one.

Groove On!!.......2003-10-11

Well, where should I start? I absolutely loved this cd. To tell you the truth, I can't get enough of it. I loved Track 3, Gonna Be Alright & Slam Dunk. I heard the first CD of EG and loved it to, but I think that he took it to another level with this one. Like I said, Groove On!

First time.......2003-01-11

This CD was my introduction to EUGE GROOVE. Considering I thought the name of the performer was HUGE GROOVE, I was not dissapointed to find out differently. Euge Groove was a HUGE hit with me. Slam Dunk is the head boppinist, sitting in your car even after you get home to finish listening it-ist tune that I've heard in a while. GROOVE ONNNNNN.

I like this one better.......2002-08-18

Maybe the reason I like this one better is that I don't want a whole CD to be "Smooth and Relaxing". This one is not as "smooth" and to me that is a good thing. While the first one had some catchy songs it was also more low key and the songs had a similar groove. This one pushes the envelope a bit more and gives us songs that don't all sound similar. Slam Dunk is good, but the standard stuff..then he really opens it up with "From The Top" and "Rewind" is equally energized. Belle Maria with Peter White again steps away from the standard fare and the beautiful ballad at the end, With You I Believe, is a refreshing step away from studio technology. Pure instrumentation and played from the heart. I could have done without the cover of "Lets Get It On" a song I have simply heard too many times over the last 30 years and am bored with. But the other plus for this CD is that except for one background vocal it is all instrumental! I love the artists who can play it down the center commercially and give radio what they want without compromising the quality of the music or putting us to sleep..EG has done that with this one.

I also have to give some props to the cover art..the woman on the cover is a beautiful, confident, healthy looking woman wearing clothes that real people wear. Refreshing after seeing so many covers with sultry, pouting, extremely thin half-dressed women!

from Solo Piano Publications.......2004-09-03

"Jazz After Hours" is an ensemble recording featuring Lisa Hilton on piano, Eric Marienthal on sax, Tal Bergman on drums, and Reggie McBride on bass. Of the eleven tracks, seven are originals and four are arrangements of jazz classics. I have to admit that I prefer Hilton's solo piano work, but this is a really nice selection of pieces that place an emphasis on fun. "Malibu" has been receiving extensive airplay in the US and abroad, and recently reached the #1 position on the Top 20 SIngles World Jazz Chart. On most of the tracks, the piano is part of the ensemble rather than the lead, but the band is excellent and Eric Marienthal really cooks on sax.

"Malibu" is an upbeat and joyous tribute to Hilton's seaside hometown. Known for its carefree surfers and sunny beaches, this piece captures that kind of party spirit. Bill Evans' "Waltz For Debby" is a beautiful trio for piano, bass, and drums - soulful and sensuous, and a great arrangement. "Nocturne" was inspired by Chopin and is a standout. Cool, dark, and slinky, it does indeed sound like the middle of the night. "All That" is another favorite, and sounds like a blast to play. Hilton and Marienthal pull out the stops and really let loose. Duke Ellington's "Azure" is again piano, bass, and drums, and is leisurely and "bluesy." "When We Met" is the only solo piano piece, and I love it. Composed in the style of a standard, it is both old and new, and has a beautiful, romantic feeling. "Listen to Your Heart" closes the CD on a gentle, intimate note.

"Jazz After Hours" is a great album for relaxing and reenergizing, a backdrop for an intimate dinner, or even good party music.

Lisa Does It Again!!.......2004-06-02

Her latest album contains the same formula as her last release. Assisted by veteran Saxophonist Eric Marienthal, she continues her venture of providing great, classic Jazz. "Malibu" starts the CD off right with an assist from Bassist Reggie McBride and Drummer Tal Bergman. Her covers of the Miles Davis classic, "All Blues" and Duke Ellington's, "Azure" gives fans of 50's & 60's Jazz something to appreciate. My personal favorites were "Listen to Your Heart" and "All That". The old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies to this CD. Lisa definitely sticks to the same old routine and she scores another winner!
