-----------------

In der Reihe "Young Cats" präsentiert die WDR Big Band in diesem Jahr bereits zum vierten Mal vielversprechende junge Jazztalente.

Die britische Saxofonistin Emma Rawicz veröffentlichte 2022 im Alter von 19 Jahren ihr selbstproduziertes Debüt "Incantations" und sorgte damit in der pulsierenden Londoner Jazzszene und darüber hinaus für Furore. Beeinflusst von Vorbildern wie Joe Henderson und Wayne Shorter zeichnet sie sich durch ein virtuoses und ausdrucksstarkes Spiel, einen markanten energiegeladenen Sound und komplexe Kompositionen aus. Diese Qualitäten hat sie auf mittlerweile drei hochgelobten Alben für das Label ACT und bei zahlreichen Konzerten in über 15 Ländern gezeigt.

Für das "Young Cats"-Konzert hat Emma Rawicz einige ihrer Kompositionen im Großformat für die WDR Big Band arrangiert, deren Leitung sie auch gleich übernimmt. Als musikalische Gäste bringt sie aus ihrer Heimat die Sängerin Immy Churchill und den Gitarristen David Preston mit.
