This trio from Luxembourg was founded in 1998. For the first couple of years they flew under the radar. After a long break, they reconnected in 2011 and the debut album of Reis Demuth Wiltgen, AKA pianist Michel Reis, bassist Marc Demuth, and drummer Paul Wiltgen, was very well received that same year. In 2016 they released Places In Between, followed by Once In A Blue Moon last year. The playing of pianist Michel Reis is very special. Before he was reunited with his two friends, he gained experience in New York by working with Michael Brecker, Joe Lovano, and Dave Holland, among others. Since 2014, saxophonist Joshua Redman has been playing compositions by the trio on a regular basis, and since that time they have played together at festivals several times. At North Sea Jazz, songs from the impressive album Once In A Blue Moon will take center stage.
