The Jazz Session #572: Remy Le Boeuf
Remy Le Boeuf is a Grammy-nominated composer and saxophonist whose music is rooted in the jazz tradition while drawing on various influences, ranging from contemporary classical sounds to indie rock energy. His jazz orchestra âAssembly of Shadowsâ is a dazzling vehicle both for Remyâs compositions and arrangements, and his voice as a saxophonist. The 20-piece ensemble releases its second album âArchitecture of Stormsâ, featuring guests Dayna Stephens and Julia Easterlin, on 5th November 2021. I caught up with Remy ahead of the release to ask him about his influences, process, and just exactly how he juggles manning a large ensemble (hats off to all big band leaders, everywhere).
