Wolfgang: Gnawa Jazz

Permalink
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.
