Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with jazz pianist, composer, and arranger Sujae Jung, alongside double bassist Wolf Robert Stratmann. We caught up with this Korean-German contemporary jazz duo to talk about their latest 2025 release, Tree Huggers — their second EP together. The project features four original compositions that explore themes of nature and memory, all while showcasing their distinctive musical interplay.

Recorded at Brooklyn’s iconic Bunker Studios, Tree Huggers further solidifies their growing presence in the New York contemporary jazz scene. We dive into their creative process, the evolution of their collaboration, and what inspires their innovative sound.
