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, electronica, 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, Geri Allen, 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. In 2004, at age 18, they moved to New York to study music with Kenny Barron Mike Abene and Dick Oatts.

In their short musical career, the Le Boeuf brothers (pronounced "le buff") have accrued 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, ASCAP, The Steans Institute, The North American Saxophone Alliance, The Grammy Foundation, the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, and the John Coltrane Foundation.

The Le Boeuf Brothers latest CD, "Migration" has received recognition from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), the International Songwriting Competition, and recently won the 2006 Independent Music Awards for Best Jazz Album and for Best Jazz Song. Pascal and Remy's next release will be available in 2008. The band includes Ambrose Akinmusire (trp), Marcus Strickland (Tenor), Matt Brewer (Bass), and Clarence Penn (Drums).
