On July 15th at 7:30pm, Remy Le Boeuf's Assembly of Shadows will be preforming a program of original music for jazz orchestra at Metro Baptist Church (located at 410 W 40th St, New York, NY 10018).
Assembly of Shadows is a 18-piece jazz orchestra led by composer and saxophonist, Remy Le Boeuf. A native of Santa Cruz, CA, Le Boeuf is known for his integration of jazz, classical, and contemporary music genres. He has worked with a range of collaborators including the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, JACK Quartet, Knower, Linda Oh, as well as his own twin brother, Pascal, with whom he co-leads the Grammy-nominated ensemble, Le Boeuf Brothers.
Le Boeuf often employs literary elements to fuel his compositions as in is his recent collaboration with Le Boeuf Brothers + JACK Quartet entitled imaginist (2016). Past projects include House Without A Door (2009) "an impressively self-assured new album, which reaches for the gleaming cosmopolitanism of our present era" (New York Times); 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); and Remixed an "open-minded and masterfully crafted precursor of things to come" (All About Jazz) featuring remix collaborations with David Binney, Knower, Tim Lefebvre, and others.
Le Boeuf has received awards and commissions from Chamber Music America, SFJAZZ, The Jerome Foundation, BMI, ASCAP, the American Composers Forum, YoungARTS, Downbeat Magazine, and the New York Youth Symphony. As has saxophonist, he has performed as a member of the Bob Mintzer Big Band, as well as with Dayna Stephens, Donny McCaslin, the Alan Ferber Expanded Ensemble, and Friction Quartet.
