Life Score (ACT) is the soundtrack to a cinematic yet still young life in which a remarkable, almost fairy-tale amount has already happened. Berlin-based bassist Nils Kugelmann, originally from Munich, has quickly risen to become one of the brightest shooting stars of German jazz. He has received numerous prestigious awards and convinced both critics and audiences that he is an artist here to stay—advancing jazz with his verve, enthusiasm, virtuosity, and insatiable curiosity.
After his acclaimed debut Stormy Beauty (ACT)—nominated for the German Record Critics’ Award and ranked in the European jazz charts—Kugelmann now presents his new album on national and international tours.
This latest programme, composed entirely by Kugelmann, captivates more than ever: melodies that inspire meet harmonies that linger, always carried by his unmistakable love of groove. Or, as SWR put it: “music that gets under your skin.”
