“Overwhelming beauty” -New York Times

Hello Recording Academy friends,

Here is my music, I hope it brings you joy. I have five submissions in 4 categories this year that I hope you’ll consider. I’m really gunning for Best Large Jazz Ensemble in collaboration with Danielle Wertz and Nordkraft Big Band for our album Silent Course. I am crossing my fingers for the composition and arranging categories as well. Enjoy! -Remy

silent course

Vocalist Danielle Wertz, saxophonist/arranger Remy Le Boeuf, and the Nordkraft Big Band join forces on Silent Course, a project that blends modern jazz, folk, and contemporary classical influences into a singular sound. Wertz, an award-winning singer and composer acclaimed for her emotionally resonant writing and crystalline voice, contributes originals alongside poetic reinterpretations of Joni Mitchell and Madison Cunningham. Le Boeuf, a 4x Grammy-nominated composer, saxophonist, and Chief Conductor of the Nordkraft Big Band, shapes the music with his sweeping arrangements and improvisational voice, extending his boundary-crossing career that bridges jazz, classical, and songwriting. Rooted in Denmark and recognized internationally for visionary projects, the 17-member Nordkraft Big Band brings depth, color, and scale to this collaboration, amplifying the music’s intimacy into widescreen resonance. Together, the trio of forces creates an album that is deeply personal yet universally evocative, weaving themes of love, loss, and renewal into a tapestry of profound musical storytelling.
