LE BOEUF BROTHERS

Prepare to be amused by the bold compositions and stylish approach of the Le Boeuf Brothers, 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 to any audience. "Even by the uncanny standards of identical twins, the Le Boeuf Brothers have forged a remarkably close connection. What sets them apart from other siblings who share the same DNA and a preternatural level of communication is that they practice it in public, on the bandstand, to unique artistic effect." (Metroactive). Their upcoming album "Two Worlds," supported in part by a generous contribution from the Edward & Sally Van Lier Fund of the NY Community Trust, is set to be released in Sept 2011. What differentiates this album from others is the Le Boeuf Brothers continue to sculpt their compositions after the recording process using modern production techniques to develop a sound akin to Nigel Godrich of Radiohead producing a jazz album. This new direction lays the foundation for the next decade of jazz innovation. "Talented musicians and award-winning composers who channel their influences, environments and resources into works that reflect their own identities."-AAJ
