Livin' Large is the latest release from Smooth Jazz Sensation Euge Groove, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD... AWESOME!
Livin' Large grabs your attention right from the very first note with Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song Thank You, which by the way is another great track.
Livin' Large is a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly superb artist. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen.
Euge Groove is the kind of artist I really enjoy listening to.
If you're even mildly into Smooth Jazz music you'll enjoy this CD. Overall Livin' Large is an a great release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.
While this entire CD is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2, Livin' Large, track 7 Too Cool, track 9, Silhouette.
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 3, XXL
