The Kingston Jazz Society is excited to announce that New York’s Le Boeuf Brothers will be making their Kingston debut at The Mansion on Sunday, August 22nd at 8pm.
The young quintet features Remy and Pascal Le Boeuf on alto sax and piano, Mike Ruby on tenor sax, Rick Rosato on bass, and Colin Stranahan on drums.
These young and innovative players kick off their first North American tour to rave reviews and international acclaim for their 2009 album “House Without a Door”:
“This group has an impressively self-assured new album, “House Without a Door” which reaches for the gleaming cosmopolitanism of our present era.”
- New York Times
“House Without A Door is one of the most engaging and original albums to emerge in 2009. The brothers’ writing and playing is technically skilled, but unlike many other young jazz musicians they also invest both with some genuine emotion and originality. As a result, the entire album has a maturity that is rare in players who are barely into their early twenties.”
- All About Jazz
“Outstanding!! …fantastic new album (“House Without a Door”). I’m deeply impressed.”
- Radio X – Frankfurt, Germany
“Great compositions, great musicians.”
- U-FM Radio Stanvaste – Rotterdam, Netherlands
“[Pascal & Remy le Boeuf] reek with talent! Full of energy and originality.”
- BLU-FM 89.1, Katoomba, Australia
