\u201cCross Country\u201d, Luxembourgish trio Reis Demuth Wiltgen takes a new step by joining forces with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Vince Mendoza. Pianist and composer Michel Reis delivers a series of pieces in which the trio\u2019s refined writing unfolds within a wide\u2011ranging orchestral setting, without ever losing the melodic clarity or rhythmic flexibility that define the group\u2019s signature sound.<\/p>\n<p>The album stands out for the quality of its orchestrations, which do far more than simply \u201cdress\u201d the trio: they extend and reinvigorate the improvisational dialogue. Strings, woodwinds, and brass become true musical partners, shaping atmospheres that are by turns lyrical, cinematic, or more incisive, always in service of the musical narrative.<\/p>\n<p>The presence of saxophonist Joshua Redman on several tracks adds another layer of depth, blending his instantly recognisable tone with the elegance of the arrangements and the tight interaction of the trio. Conceived as much for the stage as for the studio, \u201cCross Country\u201d offers a programme with strong dramatic impact, ideal for major concert halls and festivals seeking to bring jazz and symphonic audiences together around a shared experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-6 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background has-mask-background hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"width:104% !important;max-width:104% !important;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:100%;--awb-margin-top-large:20px;--awb-spacing-right-large:1.92%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:1.92%;--awb-width-medium:100%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:1.92%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/6N8V75i5w5ZKeypgjPow1l?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><h4 style=\"color: #db5b00; margin-bottom: 15px;\">MUSICIANS<\/h4>\n<div><b>Michel REIS<\/b> | Piano<\/div>\n<div><b>Marc DEMUTH<\/b> | Double bass<\/div>\n<div><b>Paul WILTGEN<\/b> | Drums<\/div>\n<div><b>Joshua Redman<\/b> | Saxophone<\/div>\n<div><b>Vince MENDOZA<\/b> | Conductor<\/div>\n<div><b>Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><h4 style=\"color: #db5b00; margin-bottom: 15px;\">VIDEO<\/h4>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"--awb-max-width:1280px;--awb-max-height:720px;--awb-align-self:center;--awb-width:100%;\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><lite-youtube videoid=\"Q7tSrjil9t8\" class=\"landscape\" params=\"wmode=transparent&autoplay=1&amp;enablejsapi=1\" title=\"YouTube video player 1\" data-button-label=\"Play Video\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" data-thumbnail-size=\"auto\" data-no-cookie=\"on\"><\/lite-youtube><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><h4 style=\"color: #db5b00; margin-bottom: 15px;\">AGENDA | CONCERTS<\/h4>\n<div><strong>May 11, 2027<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>Reis Demuth Wiltgen | <b>Concert \u2013 Musikfestpiele Saar<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phasellus eu scelerisk quam, id pulvinar ligula.
