Jazz pianist Pascal Le Boeuf is part of a growing New York jazz scene characterized by odd time signatures, shifting harmonies, and the influences of alternative rock, electronica, and hip-hop. The San Francisco Chronicle describes his 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 his short musical career, Mr. Le Boeuf (pronounced "le buff") has garnered 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. Pascal has also received awards from Downbeat Magazine, the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, and the John Coltrane Foundation.
Pascal recently reunited with his twin brother, Remy Le Boeuf, to record his next album "House Without A Door," featuring Ambrose Akinmusire (trumpet), Marcus Strickland (Tenor), and Clarence Penn (Drums) among others. Pascal describes "House without a Door" as “an attempt to create the perfect balance between intellect and emotion. My hope is that by connecting with my own personal emotions through music, I can connect with my audience." As a recording artist, Pascal has received recognition from the Independent Music World Series, the International Songwriting Competition, and recently won the 2006 Independent Music Awards for Best Jazz Album and Best Jazz Song. "House Without A Door" is scheduled to be released May 12th.
Hey Pascal! Whats up man? Yeah i'll be coming to N.Y in the fall going to Juilliard. Man, it was so fun paying with you at my audition! Looking forward to Stanford as well! See you soon!!
Yes, yoga is fantastic! I think many people do it for the same reason. Such simple positions that are so liberating. My confession is that sometimes I dance to feel like a musician...Bliss xo
