Biography

„We hear the sounds of heartbeat in Nilsson‘s low drums (..)and we hear the unmistakeable sound of the voice in Strzalek‘s alto tone (..) this is highly compositional improvisation (..) The sounds of peace, patience, poise, and indeed-the sound of life.“ (Alexander Hawkins, Oxford, 2022 about Strzalek/Nilsson ‹Scenery Somewhere›) 
“Julia Strzalek consolidates her position as a star in the jazz sky. She does this by working in the same way as before with her compositions, free, full of movement, melodic and fascinating. With strong melodies, she moves in wide soundscapes.“(Opulens, 2020 about TVÅ) 
“Inventive, melodic, fantastic jazz promised!“ (JAZZ/Orkesterjournalen 2020) 
“Julia Strzaleks music is like a universe of its own, here are millions of influences but it sounds overall not like anything else.“ (HYMN, 2016 about KOLIBRI) 
Julia Strzalek is a german SAXOPHONIST and COMPOSER, based in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2018 Julia Strzalek received the prestigious improvisation award by SKAP (Swedens composers and lyricists) .
