Earthwise welcomes Le Boeuf jazz group

Originally from Santa Cruz, California, identical twin brothers Remy Le Boeuf & Pascal Le Boeuf—saxophone & piano respectively—moved to New York in 2004 where they established their prominent musical voices as jazz performers and composers and founded Le Boeuf Brothers. They have won GRAMMYs (Pascal in 2025, Remy in 2026) for their innovative compositional projects, which span as broadly stylistically as they do collaboratively.

Their latest project, HUSH (2023), crafts an atmosphere of intimacy and solace with its innovative compositions and experimental recording techniques. Past projects include imaginist (2016) which received a Grammy nomination in collaboration with JACK Quartet; House Without A Door (2009) “an impressively self-assured new album, which reaches for the gleaming cosmopolitanism of our present era” (New York Times); and In Praise of Shadows(2011), which “deftly blends elements of electronica with touches of indie rock and sophisticated jazz writing on this genre-defying project” (JazzTimes).

In addition to their work as performers/composers with Le Boeuf Brothers, Remy and Pascal take part in a number of diverse projects. Remy is well known for his jazz orchestra work, leading Remy Le Boeuf’s Assembly of Shadows, working as the chief conductor of the Nordkraft Big Band in Denmark, and has written for the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. Pascal is a 2023 Guggenheim Fellow and performs with his trio featuring bassist Linda Oh and Justin Brown. Pascal is currently an Assistant Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Remy is the Director of Jazz & Commercial Music Studies at the University of Denver.

Joining Remy Le Boeuf on alto saxophone and Pascal Le Boeuf on piano will be Ben Flocks on tenor saxophone, Martin Nevin on bass, and Christian Euman on drums. They will be celebrating the release of their new album, Off Center.

Note: special guest in honor of the brother's historic double Grammy kudos.

Vanderbilt university Assistant Professor of the Practice of Music and Technology and Contemporary Music Ensemble Director Pascal Le Boeuf won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition in 2025. Pascal was recognized for his piece, “Strands,” which he composed with the Akropolis Reed Quintet and drummer Christian Euman.

That was Pascal's first Grammy, although he was previously nominated twice in the same category, for “Alkaline” in 2018 and “Snapshots” in 2023. “Strands” is featured on his 2024 album, “Are We Dreaming the Same Dream?,” which pays tribute to American composers such as Leonard Bernstein and Geri Allen.

Modern jazz composer Remy Le Boeuf, director of Jazz & Commercial Music Studies in the Lamont School of Music at Denver University DU, took home his first Grammy Award on Feb. 1 2026 for Best Instrumental Composition for his piece “First Snow.” The composition appears on “Silent Course,” his album with the Nordkraft Big Band, a Danish ensemble, and vocalist Danielle Wertz.

The brothers are the first twins to receive multiple Grammy awards in the same category.
