What makes this Return Stage Appearance so Special is that Euge has been completely Off the Stage the past few years. He’s had some health issues he’s been working through and some changes in life, BUT his work in studio hasn’t stopped. He is one of the Go To Guys for mastering and editing. Others including some up and comers are going to him to catch his talent on Their Music. Something Jeff Lorber was famous for and now Euge.
Born Steven Eugene Grove in Hagerstown, Maryland. Did a stint in the Tower of Power Horns. He is the sax solo on the Number 1 Hit, “Seasons Change,” by the Miami girl group, Expose and again on their 1993 hit “I’ll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me.)” He played sax on Richard Marx No. #1 hit, “Keep Coming Back.” The switched around name Euge Groove came from we think a bus boy or valet parker or something like that in Europe mispronouncing his real name. But IT WORKED. (or maybe it was his ‘mother in law….’)
He toured the world as Saxman for TINA TURNER several times. Also worked with Joe Cocker. Breaking solo as well in 2000 on Warner Bros. Records. He was named The 2000 JazzTrax Debut Artist of the Year. As his solo career blossomed through the 00’s Paul Brown helped produce some of his No. #1 hits. His Billboard Chart Toppers include “Born 2 Groove” “Religify” also named Song of the Year in 2007 “House of Groove” “Groove On” “Just Feels Right” “Slam Dunk” “Rewind” “Get Em Goin” “S7ven Large” “Old.Edu (Old School)”
In 2007 We Named ‘Born 2 Groove’ The JazzTrax Album of the Year it included The JazzTrax SONG of the Year “Religify”. It Included The 2007 JazzTrax Best Smooth Jazz Vocal Sung by JEFFREY OSBORNE (1 of 2 Jeffrey songs recorded with Euge)
In 2012 Euge again got the Honor of JazzTrax Song of the Year LISTEN TO “GOD BLESS YOU” sung by Kate Miner
In 2014 Euge AGAIN got that Honor .. JazzTrax Song of the Year Watch Euge Performing “Rain Down On Me” live on stage at the Saratoga Winery with Peter White who was the guitar on the recorded song.
His Most Recent CD in 2023
He is working on new song for himself and we’re hopeful he’ll have a New Album Out before or by the time HE REACHES AND RETURNS TO THE JAZZTRAX LIVE PERFORMANCE STAGE .. OPENING WEEKEND, THIS OCTOBER

PETER WHITE
Man … where do We Start with Peter Well, let’s Start with that Peter was Accoladed ANOTHER JazzTrax Best Album of the Year Honor in 2025
It’d been awhile since his last release, but This One was LOADED Well Worth The Wait. It included the song “Odyssey” ranked the 2nd Best Song of the Year by JazzTrax (right after Mindi Abair’s “Oooh Aah (Catalina)
The Album’s BIG HIT reached #2 on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Chart in JUNE LISTEN TO “CATALONIA”
The song that must have been spell checked. Peter had to have met “Catalina” move the I to replace the O …. ya think? Ever since being named the 1990 JazzTrax Debut Artist of the Year with this his Solo Debut, reveillez-vous’ also named 1990 JazzTrax Album of the Year
Again earning JazzTrax 1991 JazzTrax Album of the Year with his sophomore, 2nd Release ‘Excusez-moi’
Peter has been one of our perennial JazzTrax Festival Performers, perhaps having had THE MOST APPEARANCES on Catalina Island of any Star of Smooth Jazz, ……from the Ballroom, to the Beach, to the Wrigley Ranch.
WATCH HIS ENTIRE 2024 Unplugged Under the Stars on Descanso Beach Performance
WATCH PETER IN 2014 Under the Stars on Descanso Beach performing one of his Biggest Radio Hits EVER ‘Head Over Heels’
Song was #1 on Billboard for like 2 straight months
DON’T MISS MR. PETER WHITE Unplugged Under the Stars on Descanso Beach OPENING NIGHT, Oct. 8th
Considering the extensive 36 year history between Peter and JazzTrax and Art Good here’s more of “from Art” as Peter returns yet again to what’s gotta be HIS Favorite Island, at least HIS Favorite Smooth Jazz Island.
Producer Notes by Art good
It was Spring of 1990, Basia came into the KIFM studio’s in San Diego to do an On-Air ahead of her concert that night downtown. Danny White her forever Music Director and keyboardist (and former boyfriend) accompanied her. As she made her rounds Danny struck up a conversation with me. Told me his older brother was about to release a debut solo album. His older brother was Peter White. That was my first tip-off. AT THAT MOMENT I’D NEVER HEARD OF PETER WHITE BEFORE. Can you even now imagine that we went through the whole 1980’s without Peter White in the genre? He was simply the guitar sideman for Al Stewart, Mr. Year of the Cat. 1976
In fact for years I later said that Peter had been the Guitar Solo on “Year of the Cat.” Peter finally corrected me that the song’s distinctive guitar solo’s were played by Tim Renwick, both the acoustic and electric guitar parts and the song was actually produced by Alan Parsons. However Peter IS ON THE SONG, just not on guitar, but rather on KEYS !!!!
Peter was originally hired to be Al Stewart’s KEYBOARDIST and that’s what Peter was playing on “Year of the Cat!” YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO of “Year of the Cat” Is THAT Peter White on Keys? Is It? As I first watched the video’s early minutes, looking at the Keyboardist ON THE RIGHT I thought, “Could that possibly be a young Peter White. No, maybe?
Yes, No ………? Actually go to the 2:07 mark. Instead, Peter appears to be the keyboardist ON THE LEFTHowever as Peter took over the guitar role he IS the Spanish Guitar Solo on Al Stewart’s “On the Border.” Also played Keys on the song released in 1977. Here he is sitting to Al Stewart’s Right in live performance of the song. His Spanish Guitar takes over at the minute 50 mark. WATCH “On the Border”
Peter did co-compose Al Stewart’s 1978 radio hit, “Time Passages” WATCH Peter performing “Time Passages” with Al Stewart Go to the 2:30 mark to see Peter’s Spanish Guitar Solo
That debut album of Peter White did come out shortly after his brother Danny encouraged me that day in April 1990 in the San Diego radio studio and we named “Reivellezvous’ the JazzTrax 1990 Album of the Year. But we couldn’t get Peter on our October JazzTrax Stage that Fall because …. he was on guitar for Basia on her World Tour.
Then along came 1991 and a 2nd Peter White album and for a 2nd consecutive Year gave him our JazzTrax Album of the Year honor, this time for ‘Excuses-moi.’ And that October 1991 Peter came to Catalina Island at the 5th annual JazzTrax Festival. We were 2 weekends by then. He to this day gives our festival and the Avalon Ballroom for being HIS MAJOR STAGE SOLO DEBUT.
He played BOTH WEEKENDS. I remember like it was yesterday. Think it was Sunday Afternoons. 1st weekend he was okay, probably okay good. 2nd weekend he took it through the roof. I was standing in the back, by the bar with his manager, (manager to this day) Steve Chapman. That 2nd Sunday I turned to Steve and said, “Wow, this is so much better than the same show Last Week. What happened?” Steve replied, “He Went Home …. and Figured It Out.”
Peter gave me I guess a distinct honor once when playing our Thursday Unplugged at the Wrigley Ranch. He said, “Of all the 10 most unusual places I’ve ever played, ALL of THEM have been JazzTrax. From this ranch on the far side of Catalina Island that we had to get to on that treacherous road across past the Airport in the Sky. To Top of the Mountain in Big Bear Lake. To Top of a winter ski slope in Steamboat Springs. To on the shoreline of Lake Tahoe.
To LITERALLY ON a TRAIN, performing, ON A TRAIN, headed to Vail, Colorado. To a Cruise Ship headed to Ensenada alongside the pool, long before the S.S. Dave Koz’s.
I’ll grab some credit for inspiring Peter’s mid 90’s Christmas Album. To this day not sure why instead of ‘Songs of the Season,’ he didn’t call it “A Peter WHITE Christmas,” but that came after a couple Decembers on the JazzTrax 1990’s Christmas Tours across America.
Once somewhere along I-5 in Oregon saying, “We’ve got to stop at a Subway Sandwich Stop for Lunch.” Literally the first I’d heard of that food chain. 1996 ….one of Peter’s Absolute Finest.
I don’t think anyone has played the JazzTrax Live Performance Stage more times than Peter as we welcome him back this October to OPEN our 39th Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival, Unpugged Under the Stars, with the ocean waves rolling in behind, Thursday, Oct. 8th.

Also Ramon Yslas will be on Percussion . You’ve seen him lots with Peter White.
It is Sanborn’s own Long Time Tour Manager who is orchestrating this so Bona Fide that it is Sanborn’s forever Personal Manager who pointed me directly to him, when I called and asked about such a show. I mean, THIS was David Sanborn’s Final Band.
Also Sanborn’s sisters I am told and his wife Alice gave his road manager the Go Ahead to do this Sanborn, post David show, to keep his music alive. Oh … of course you ask, who will be the Saxophonist ……… They have suggested a couple different artists from Europe, saxophonists who knew David personally and who are veterans of Marcus Miller (who wrote some of Sanborn’s biggest hits) and George Benson tours.
The Side Guys CLOSING WEEKEND in October The actual guys who toured and recorded with him over the years and all his final years, Sidemen all of whom are veterans of Sanborn’s world wide tours who will continue the homage to his illustrious Grammy winning era on this October’s JazzTrax Live Performance Stage.
