The Le Boeuf Brothers - In Praise of Shadows (Nineteen Eight Records 2011)


In Praise of Shadows, the debut Nineteen-Eight Records release from The Le Boeuf Brothers is now available!!

The Le Boeuf twins - saxophonist Remy and keyboardist Pascal - take an ambitious step forward with In Praise of Shadows. Joined by fellow twenty-somethings Mike Ruby on tenor saxophone, Nir Felder on guitar, Linda Oh on bass, and Henry Cole on drums, as well as the Myth String Quartet, the Le Boeuf Brothers have created a work that spans the gulf of modern jazz and combines it with indie rock and intelligent electronic music.

** This is an enhanced CD and Download! ** - Only at 19/8, can you get the CD extras - stems for remixing, sheet music and 'making of' video, included in your purchase (in the download as well)


In this documentary, the Le Boeuf Brothers (identical twins Pascal & Remy) talk about the process of recording and producing their album "In Praise of Shadows" as it is happening. This progressive jazz album pushes the boundaries of the genre by incorporating modern electronic music, string quartet and stylized vocals. The album features Remy Le Boeuf (alto sax, bass clarinet, string arr), Pascal Le Boeuf (keyboards, vocals, electronic production), Nir Felder (guitar), Linda Oh (bass), Henry Cole (drums) and the Myth String Quartet.
