Pianist Michel Reis, bassist Marc Demuth and drummer Paul Wiltgen are three of Luxembourg’s most prominent jazz musicians. They formed the REIS DEMUTH WILTGEN Trio in 1998 while still in high school and performed on a regular basis in and around Luxembourg for a couple of years.

The trio reunited in 2011, eager to share their experiences and new music. Their self-titled first album was released on Laborie Jazz to widespread critical acclaim. Since the release, the band has toured extensively throughout the world and has appeared at major international jazz festivals in Europe, Asia, North and South America and Western Africa.

The band's sophomore album "Places In Between" was recorded in New York City and released on Double Moon Records in 2016. The trio is now signed to the Italian label CAM JAZZ for whom they have recorded two albums: “Once In A Blue Moon” (2018) and their latest release "SLY".

For 2026, Reis Demuth Wiltgen has planned the release of their orchestral project, which features the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra and two stellar collaborators from the United States: 7 time Grammy Award winning conductor and composer Vince Mendoza and the world-renowned jazz saxophonist Joshua Redman.

In 2027, the trio will release its sixth album, a live recording captured at Tokyo's renowned Cotton Club.
