DUETS PASCAL SCHUMACHER JEF NEVE face to face

face to face features selections from their releases and standards

Originally from a double «classical and jazz» formation and motivated to working together, the tandem Jef Neve (Zamu Award winner) & Pascal Schumacher (Django D’or winner), who are playing in a quartet since 2004, decided to form also a duet (vibraphone - piano) at the end of the same year. This enables them to open a new form of chamber music that mixes their various influences and gives rise to a true poetry of sounds. Jef and Pascal seek to be non-sectarian musicians who aspire to combine the colours of Claude Debussy to the universe of Steve Reich’s Monkish dissonances with the rhythmical world of Igor Stravinsky and vice versa.

They like the unbounded horizons and have taken time to find a musical agreement in which they arranged for free spaces so that each concert has a particular and new dimension.

„In a duet, Jef and I have a face-to-face dialogue allowing invention and spontaneous creation.“ Pascal Schumacher

„Pascal and I have entered a great partnership inspiring each other.“ Jef Neve
