Le Boeuf Brothers

Prepare to be astonished by the bold compositions and stylish approach of the Le Boeuf Brothers, identical jazz twins with an ear for innovation, drama, and a touch of humor. Part of a growing New York jazz scene characterized by odd time signatures, current indie rock, and the influences of artists such as Radiohead, Kurt Rosenwinkel and Herbie Hancock, Remy and Pascal Le Boeuf (saxophone and piano) play a sophisticated brand of modern jazz that, despite it's complexity, remains upbeat and accessible… Show more to any audience. The Le Boeuf Brothers’ list of awards is a lengthy one, including The ASCAP/IAJE Commission in honor of Quincy Jones, The Chamber Music America (CMA) New Jazz Works Grant, The National Foundation for Advancement in the Art (NFAA) Astral Grant; Independent Music Awards for Best Album & Best Song; more ASCAP Young Composers Awards than one can count on two hands; the Jazz Category winner of the ISC International Songwriting Competition; Several awards from Downbeat Magazine; and the list goes on. The Le Boeuf Brothers have also toured internationally and performed at The Monterey Jazz Festival, The Montreal Jazz Festival, The Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and Jazz @ Lincoln Center. The New York Times says of Le Boeuf’s latest album, “this group has an impressively self-assured new album ‘House without a Door’ which reaches for the gleaming cosmopolitanism of our present era.” Their new album "In Praise of Shadows" was released in September, 2011. What differentiates this album from others is that the Le Boeuf Brothers continue to sculpt their compositions after the initial recording process using modern production techniques, sound collages, and layered arranging/recording methods. This new direction lays the foundation for the next decade of jazz innovation.
