Jazz concert "REIS DEMUTH WILTGEN"

Show & Culture

Pianist Michel Reis, bassist Marc Demuth, and drummer Paul Wiltgen are among Luxembourg's most influential jazz musicians. They formed the trio REIS DEMUTH WILTGEN in 1998 while still in high school and played regularly in Luxembourg and the surrounding area for several years. The trio reunited in 2011, eager to share their experiences and new music. Their self-titled debut album, released on the Laborie Jazz label, received enthusiastic critical acclaim. Since then, the group has toured the world and performed at major international jazz festivals in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and West Africa. Their second album, "Places In Between," was recorded in New York and released in 2016 on Double Moon Records. Today, the trio is signed to the Italian label CAM JAZZ, with whom they have recorded two albums: “Once In A Blue Moon” (2018) and their most recent one, "SLY". In 2026, Reis Demuth Wiltgen plans an ambitious orchestral project in collaboration with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra and two world-renowned musicians: Vince Mendoza, a seven-time Grammy Award-winning conductor and composer, and jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman. In 2027, the trio will release their sixth album, a live recording captured at the famous Cotton Club in Tokyo.
