Sly

Michel Reis, Marc Demuth and 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 and released their first album to widespread critical acclaim. Since then, the band has released two more albums and has toured extensively and has appeared at major jazz festivals throughout the world. Their multiple collaborations with Joshua Redman in recent years have marked a major milestone in the trio’s career and have earned them the attention of the international music industry. SLY, the trio’s fourth album, is scheduled to be released by CAM Jazz in 2021.

Recorded live at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco on October 31 –November 3, 2019, the album celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Sly &The Family Stone’s multi-platinum classic Stand!and the Miles Davis fusion landmark In A Silent Way. Released respectively in May and July 1969 by a pair of artists connected by mutual respect, inspiration, and commitment to artistic exploration, both albums were beacons of hope and new possibilities during a turbulent time in American history.
