"Mark and Josh at Groov marketing are the perfect example of a dream team that makes things happen. In my experience of working with radio promotion I must say it couldn’t be better. Since I have been with Groov my airplay has gone up and up. June 2007 Razdaz Recordz. "
- Avishai Cohen / Bassist, Composer, Band Leader. June 2007 Razdaz Records

"“What became almost immediately apparent when I first met you guys was your true love for the music. It's not only Robert Glasper, Bill Charlap, and Eldar with you, but the respect you display for Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Hank Jones, etc. You two genuinely care about an art form that has been, by far, the most important part of my life. I'm sure you know exactly what I'm saying, my friends. It's good to know that whenever my candle burns out, there'll be a Mark and a Josh doing what they do, and also taking care of that guy in Snow Shoes, Iowa who plays Basie, Glasper, Elling, Reeves, and Sassy! " "
- Dick LaPalm - The Jazz Lobbyist

"I have been recording for many years and my albums (CDs) have always been high on the jazz charts but not until Mark and Josh of "Groov Marketing" worked on my CDs did I ever get to No.1 on the charts. In fact, two in a row .They are the best! "
- Terry Gibbs- legendary Jazz vibraphonist and band leader

""You want to know the difference between lip service & full service....check in with the guys at Groov! They make Jazz proud!""
- Gary Walker- WBGO Music Director and weekday morning host

""I've known Mark and Josh since 2001..... Since that point, they have consistently lived up to every expectation I had of them. They are the street fightin' men of jazz radio. They are Inigo Montoya and jazz radio has killed their father. In short, buyer beware.""
- Garrett Shelton- Senior Director of Marketing- The Decca Label Group

""Mark and Josh represent our labels, artists and music at the highest level. They have a strong work ethic, know the music and the artists, and are all-around good people. Mack Avenue considers them an integral part of our marketing outreach and we wouldn't have it any other way.""
- Denny Stilwell - President of Mack Avenue Records, Inc.

"In the world of radio promotion there are record pimps and pushers whose goal is to make the almighty dollar without regard for exploiting an artist or degrading pop music. Thank the heavens for Groov Marketing, who shower jazz radio with music worth hearing, promoting and enjoying. Their expertise and consideration provides the pulse that makes Jazz groove by setting the beat, establishing a foundation and then pushing jazz music and artists to new heights by giving us nothing but the artistic best! Bright moments Groov Marketing, you make good thing happen on the jazz airwaves "
- Jesse "Chuy" Varela, Music Director KCSM FM 91, Jazz Radio For The San Francisco Bay Area.

".....For many years now, I've had the pleasure of having my recordings placed in the eminently capable hands of Mark Rini and Josh Ellman of GROOV Marketing. Though, as a musician, one might want to believe in the purity of the communication, and that the music can and will find its audience all on its own. Well, that's just not the case! A CD is released only once and, as the artist, you have but one chance to do the right thing to help your music reach its 'target' audience, and beyond. By that I mean that you have to reach average, ordinary people - not just other musicians. And for that, you need the support of Jazz radio. I can honestly say that without the expert advice and help of GROOV Marketing, my recordings could have easily slipped into total obscurity. I am and will remain ever grateful to both Mark and Josh for their expertise and hard work on my behalf!!! Wishing you guys decades more of success!!!"
- Steve Khan, New York, March, 2008

"Listen up musicians....particularly in jazz....you want your CD worked in radio check out the Groov fellows. They're on top of it....they know what they're doing and they know the music. Good to see you here Mark, Josh and company. Keep up the great work. "
- Jae Sinnett-drummer, composer and WHRV Music Director

"..I think you (Josh) and Mark are great promotion men. You did such a great job for Kurt (Elling) over the 11 years that I managed him, that I wished I had all of my artists with you. You not only got Kurt to #1on the charts several times, but even when he didn't have a record out, you and Mark still called me to set up interviews and promotions."
- Bill Traut - Open Door Management

"Not only do I receive some of the finest music in the industry through Groov Marketing but these guys display a true passion for the artists they are promoting and the professionalism they have shown in all the years I've worked with them is always front and center. If the packacge has the Groov label on it….I can expect quality jazz."
- Eric Cohen-Music Director and on air host-WAER Syracuse NY

"As a jazz and blues radio programmer, I love working with the Groov guys. They know what is hip and different about each CD or artist they're representing. They also do their homework and know what is hip and unique to each station they work with. I can always count on music that is creative, sometimes very accessible, sometimes a little challenging but always of the highest quality from Groov marketing to help me create the unique sound of WEMU, Ypsilanti. And, I can always count on the Groov team. They return my calls and e-mails. Even though WEMU is not in a top 20 market I always feel that the Groov guys respect me, my staff and our listeners as if we were in the top 10. That's a marvelous feeling! That's why they're successful: they represent high quality clients and deliver high quality service."
- Linda Yohn- Music Director WEMU, Ypsilanti
