About Me


You are now marked on my profile visitor map!
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------Identical twin brothers Remy and Pascal Le Boeuf (saxophone and piano) are part of a growing New York jazz scene characterized by odd time signatures, shifting harmonies, and the influences of hip hop, R&B, and alternative rock. The San Francisco Chronicle describes their music as “a rich brand of modern jazz, with performances and compositions that display an impressive level of sophistication. Textured harmonies and shifting time signatures are handled with aplomb.” In the molds of Chris Potter, Joshua Redman, and Brian Blade, the Le Boeuf Brothers are on the cutting edge of progressive jazz.Pascal and Remy were born in the California Bay Area where they grew up listening to the sounds of Charles Mingus, Dave Holland, and Danilo Perez. They began to study music, and at 18 moved to New York to play gigs and study with Kenny Barron and Dick Oatts.In their short musical career, the Le Boeuf brothers (pronounced "le buff") have garnered an impressive tally of over twenty national and international awards and accomplishments, the most notable being the ASCAP/IAJE Commission honoring Quincy Jones, which premiered at the 2004 IAJE conference and featured tenor saxophonist Chris Potter. The Le Boeuf brothers have also received awards from Downbeat Magazine, the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, and the John Coltrane Foundation.The Le Boeuf Brothers latest CD, “Migration” features eight original compositions, which showcase their unique talents as composers as well as their flexibility as performers. “Migration is a mirror,” says Pascal, “reflecting both the experiences and the people we’ve encountered over the last few years in California, and foreshadowing Remy’s and my migration to New York. The title represents not only the physical move to the East coast, but our artistic migration towards the growing progressive jazz scene in New York.” “Migration” has received recognition from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), the International Songwriting Competition, and has recently won the 2006 Independent Music Awards for Best Jazz Album and for Best Jazz Song.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! The next Le Boeuf Brothers release featuring Clarence Penn, Marcus Strickland, Matt Brewer, Ambrose Akinmusire, Greg Ritchie, Billy Norris, and Janelle Reichman will be available in 2008.
