Award-winning vocalist, Danielle Wertz, and 4x Grammy-nominated composer/saxophonist Remy Le Boeuf present their upcoming album release, Silent Course. Rooted in the jazz tradition while overlapping into contemporary classical and folk realms, this collaboration features Le Boeuf’s arrangements of his and Wertz’s compositions as well as those of Joni Mitchell and Madison Cunningham.

REMY LE BOEUF is a 4x Grammy-nominated composer and saxophonist whose music is rooted in the jazz tradition and overlaps into contemporary classical and indie-rock realms. Le Boeuf is also the founder of the jazz orchestra, Assembly of Shadows, and the Chief Conductor of the Nordkraft Big Band. He has worked with a range of collaborators including the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis, Linda Oh, Dayna Stephens, Haim, Knower, JACK Quartet, and his twin brother Pascal, with whom he co-leads the experimental quintet, Le Boeuf Brothers.

DANIELLE WERTZ is an award-winning artist rapidly gaining national acclaim. Described as, “untarnished by the politics of music” (Jazz Music Archives) and “at home alongside more contemporary exponents of improvised singing” (LoudMouth, AU) she is known for blending modern jazz and folk to create intimate and emotionally resonant compositions. After being named a Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition semi-finalist, Danielle’s debut album, Intertwined, ranked #4 on Capital Bop’s list of “Best DC Jazz Albums of 2017.” That same year Danielle placed 2nd in the Ella Fitzgerald Jazz Vocal Competition and 3rd in the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Vocal Competition. After years of being an avid collaborator in the jazz world, in 2022 Danielle was asked to co-create and co-star in Signature Theatre’s production of Both Sides Now: The Music and Lives of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. DC Theatre Arts called her performance “enchanting and reverent” and this project continues to tour nationally.
