Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with acclaimed Luxembourg-based jazz pianist Michel Reis. In this wide-ranging conversation, we dive into the 2026 album from Reis Demuth Wiltgen, the renowned Luxembourg jazz trio featuring pianist Michel Reis, bassist Marc Demuth and drummer Paul Wiltgen. This latest project represents the most ambitious musical statement the trio has created across their nearly three-decade history together.
The story of Reis Demuth Wiltgen is a fascinating one. Michel Reis, Marc Demuth and Paul Wiltgen first formed the trio in 1998 while still in high school, performing around Luxembourg before eventually going their separate ways. More than a decade later, they reunited in 2011, bringing with them greater experience, perspective and a deeper musical vocabulary.
Since then, Michel Reis has developed into an internationally acclaimed jazz artist, performing at some of the world's most respected venues and festivals and establishing himself as an important voice in contemporary European jazz.
In this Neon Jazz interview, we talk about the new 2026 Reis Demuth Wiltgen album, the trio's extraordinary journey from teenage musicians to an internationally recognized jazz ensemble, Michel's career, his evolution as a pianist and composer, Luxembourg's jazz scene, and much more.
If you're a fan of Michel Reis, Reis Demuth Wiltgen, European jazz, Luxembourg jazz, contemporary jazz, jazz piano, jazz trios and independent jazz, dig into this conversation.
