Jung Stratmann Duo

  • Soapbox Gallery 636 Dean Street Brooklyn, NY, 11238 United States (map)

Home in the concrete jungle of New York City and inspired by the eclectic cultural mix of their tumultuous surroundings this young Contemporary Jazz duo is aiming for nothing less than bringing the realities of who they truly are to each and every single one of their performances. With a strong focus on empathy and their unifying approach on improvisation, in which every member is at all times allowed to do whatever they want, they infuse their music with a powerful liveliness that can be experienced up close in their heartfelt recordings and concerts.

Hailing from two different countries South Korea and Germany and influenced by the large cultural, racial and gender diversity they were involved with during their master studies at The New School in Manhattan, New York, their compositions and improvisations promote equality in every way. Sujae Jung (piano) and Wolf Robert Stratmann (Double Bass) met first during the beginning of their Jazz Bachelor studies The Hague NL in 2019 and have been playing and growing together ever since. In their music they let their individual artistic heritages, the imagery of their homeland’s vast landscapes and their love for the discovery of the unknown whirl together, transcend cultural barriers and ultimately further the cause of the life enhancing and unifying spirit of jazz music.
