Das Pop-up Festival ist eine einzigartige Plattform, die jungen Musiker:innen erlaubt, die Werte, die sie mit ihrer Kunst vermitteln möchten, auszudrücken. Was wollen sie sagen? Wo wollen sie die Musik hinbewegen? Wie wollen sie die Welt gestalten?
Es ist eine Momentaufnahme des multi-kulturellen Zeitgeistes aus (post-)Jazz und improvisierter Musik, der seit Jahren an der HKB kultiviert wird.
See you there, your festival team: @nm_jujube @gideok_moon @lukas.mohl @eleusiiis @laura_chihaia @alasnoaxis & the entire volunteer crew

Berlin — this one is special!
On May 12th at Jazzclub Schlot (@inside.concertseries ), I’ll be performing two full sets with two different projects — and celebrating a double CD release.
✨ Dima Bondarev Quartet
(Dima Bondarev – trumpet, @wanjaslavin – alto sax, @igorspallati – bass, Jim Black (@alasnoaxis ) – drums
→ presenting “Get a Second Wind” (2025)— now finally on CD
✨ Dima Bondarev Trio
(Dima Bondarev – trumpet, @igorosypov – guitar & bass, Jim Black – drums)
→ presenting “Silence is Complicity” — upcoming release, first time live
Both bands will perform with the exact line-ups from the recordings — something rare and very special.
💿 CDs for both albums will be available for the first time at the concert. Thanks @dnipro.and.kruchi label for making it happen!
This is more than a concert — it’s a statement, a gathering, and a chance to share something meaningful together.
📍 May 12
📍 Inside Series @kunstfabrikschlot
🎟 Come early — let’s fill the room.
Your presence matters!
Great show tonight at #SultanRoom @thesultanroom in Bushwick with Yeah No, an awesome jazz quartet of ex-New Yorkersfeaturing fantastic players such as #ChrisSpeed @chrisspeed11 on sax & clarinet, #SkuliSverrisson @skulisverrisson on bass, #JimBlack @alasnoaxis on drums (& melodica) and #CuongVu @cuong_vu_trptr on trumpet.
This group hasn’t played together in over 20 years but Chris wrote some new music for it, so after playing some of the older material they ventured into some new and yet unreleased (and unrecorded) material which was really good and exciting.
They are touring the US most of April so try to catch them along their route.

Schrafer Snef vs. Trash Quest Bunny
Tomorrow 07.04. at @offy_the.off.space Kulturwoche, playing late, come and shake your hips.
Bun hop and mustard step.
