Jeff Herr Corporation · Festival de Wiltz

Show & Culture

After an artistic hiatus, the Jeff Herr Corporation returns with renewed energy and a completely new line-up. Alongside drummer and bandleader Jeff Herr, this trio brings together two major figures of Luxembourgish and European jazz: Maxime Bender on saxophone and Pol Belardi on electric bass and synthesizer. With this line-up, the group pushes the boundaries of jazz by combining improvisation, electronic textures, and powerful grooves. The interaction between the musicians is more modern and daring, creating a space for free expression where lyrical flights, deep basslines, and energetic, organic drumming intersect. Inspired by contemporary jazz and electro-jazz, this new direction heralds an electrifying return to the stage as well as a new album scheduled for 2026. The program was developed during a residency at Neumünster Abbey (2024–2025), marking a sonic exploration that incorporates electronic elements.
