Dima Bondarev Trio is one of the brightest examples of how versatile cultures, music trends, mindsets united and driven by the universal power of jazz can take shape of an offbeat, well-balanced and exquisite formation. His dedication to jazz has been around since early childhood. In his early twenties, he became part of two well-known Ukrainian jazz bands, Magnifika Group and Acoustic Quartet. After moving to Berlin in 2013 Dima formed his own international band, which has shared many happy and glorious moments together. Some of the highlights are : the 2nd price of '50. Jazz and Odra festival' in Wroclaw (Poland, 2014), the 1st Price of Festival de Jazz à Montauban (France, 2014) and JIB-Jazz-Preis Der Karl Hofer Gesellschaft Gestiftet von Toni und Albrecht Kumm (Germany, 2015), 2nd Price of Umbria Jazz Festival (Italy, 2017)



Nathan Ott (drums)

Ott wuchs in einer musikalischen Familie in Augsburg auf und begann nach einer Ausbildung als klassischer Geiger und Erfahrungen in klassischen Jugendorchestern mit 18 Jahren, Schlagzeug zu spielen, nachdem er ein Konzert von Dave Liebman erlebt hatte. Nach Unterricht bei Walter Bittner, seinem Abitur und einer einjährigen Vorbereitungszeit begann er 2009 sein Instrumentalstudium bei Billy Elgart an der Hochschule für Musik Würzburg, um es 2011 an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg bei Holger Nell fortzusetzen und zu beenden.

Im Quartett Curious Case spielte er mit Anna-Lena Schnabel, Philipp Püschel und Christian Müller. Im Nathan Ott Quartet hat er zusammen mit Dave Liebman, Sebastian Gille und Robert Landfermann sein Debütalbum The Cloud Divers aufgenommen, das 2018 bei Unit Records erschien. Im Dezember 2019 erschien sein zweites Album Shades of Red (Unit Records) im Quartett mit Dave Liebman, Jonas Westergaard und Sebastian Gille.

Weiterhin arbeitete er unter anderem mit Christof Lauer, Richie Beirach, Stephan Meinberg, Christopher Dell, Sven Kerschek, Gabriel Coburger, Tobias Delius, Menzel Mutzke, Vladyslav Sendecki und Claus Stötter. Zudem spielt er in der Weltmusik-Gruppe Maik Mondial und im Duo-Projekt Doglance mit dem Gitarristen Julian Fischer. Er tourte international und trat auf Festivals wie Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Swinging Groningen, Tollwood sowie Elbjazz auf.


Guitarist and composer Igor Osypov with his crunchy, slightly distorted sound has become one of the distinct voices in jazz as well as indie-rock and fusion. His playing with “blood and guts” brings a “fresh and complete concept” (allaboutjazz.com) to concert stages and jazz clubs all over the world. One of the albums that he has worked on as a part of Logan Richardson’s project “Blues People” has been listed under the top 3 jazz albums of 2018 by the New York Times.
“A secret weapon from Ukraine” (Jazz Times), Igor earned his recognition by touring internationally and also recording with some of the greatest artists. Among those are Logan Richardson (both of his latest projects SHIFT and Blues People), Kurt Rosenwinkel, Nasheet Waits, Tech N9ne, Josh Ginsburg, Wanja Slavin, Bodek Janke, Diego Pinera, Elias Stemeseder and others. All while developing his own band, and recording his debut (“I”, Unit Records, 2015) and sophomore (“Dream Delivery”, For-Tune, 2016) albums.
Both as a sideman and a band leader Igor took part in a number of major jazz festivals and events around the globe such as NPR Tiny Desk, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Montreaux Jazz Festival and others. He won awards in many different contests in Europe such as Montauban Jazz, Smietana jazz guitar competition and Jazz nad Odra.
Igor has been developing his own unique multilayered style of playing whilst studying at the Jazz Institute Berlin with renowned musicians such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, John Hollenbeck, Greg Cohen, Gerard Presencer, Marc Muellbauer, Tino Derado, Wolfgang Köhler, Jörg Achim Keller and others. During his studying Igor was awarded with Deutschlandstipendium and JIB-Jazz-Preis der Karl Hofer Gesellschaft 2015. Shortly after his graduation as a Master of composition in 2019 Igor was granted the scholarship Elsa-Neumann Stipendium. In 2020, Igor is working simultaneously on two interconnected projects, both of which deal with the concept of Motherland in different ways
