Vocalist Danielle Wertz, saxophonist/arranger Remy Le Boeuf and the Denmark-based Nordkraft Big Band are each singular forces in their respective spheres. But bound by the collective spirit—and operating at the ideal intersection of modern jazz, contemporary classical music, and folk nouveau—they create art beyond the sum of their sounds on Silent Course.

Over the span of eight performances—six engrossing originals, two well-chosen covers—singer, bandleader, and ensemble delve into themes of love, loss, fear, and uncertainty. Works of deep contemplation, these rich story paintings speak to universal emotions while carving out a distinct space of their own. It’s music that seems preordained, with undeniable substance and synergy at play, yet it took Le Boeuf’s role as a unifying force to bring this triangular triumph to fruition.

Wertz first connected with Le Boeuf in 2023 on a Denver release show for her sophomore album, Other Side. Their chemistry was clear from the beginning: “I was just so impressed with her musicianship, her music, and her overall vibe,” the saxophonist shares. The pair then furthered their working relationship when Wertz joined Le Boeuf’s Grammy-nominated Assembly of Shadows for a performance at New York’s Jazz Gallery and recorded with that large ensemble on 2024’s Heartland Radio.

As these developments unfolded, Le Boeuf was settling in as the Chief Conductor of the Nordkraft Big Band—a role that was formalized on record with 2024’s Strangers to Ourselves. Moving past that release, when discussions of future albums ensued and a vocal project was proposed, Le Boeuf knew Wertz was the perfect fit.

With a program split evenly between expanded arrangements of Wertz originals, new Le Boeuf entries, co-advanced material from the vocalist’s folio, and broadened takes on singer-songwriter gems from past and present, Silent Course stands as a testament to captivating beauty in balance. To all parties’ credit, each number is a world unto itself.
