Promoting young talent at its finest: In its "Young Cats" concerts, the WDR Big Band is presenting exceptional young talents from the jazz scene for the third time. So far, the focus has been on national young talent, but this time, a young Belgian musician, saxophonist Simon Comté, is also taking part. Comté is currently living and studying in New York. The second soloist of the evening plays double bass and comes from Bavaria: Nils Kugelmann is a bassist, composer and band leader; his promising debut album "Stormy Beauty" was released in summer 2023. And there is also a new addition to the conductor's podium, as here too, a very young musician, Jakob Helling, who lived in NRW for the first 25 years of his life, will lead the WDR Big Band.
