Nina Ott is originally from Detroit, Michigan, where she grew up in a household full of fervent music lovers. She began playing piano at age 7 and continued her classical training through college, where she earned her bachelor's degree in piano performance. Ms. Ott was always intensely drawn to improvisation and jazz but it wasn't until after her formal training that she became a serious student of the art form. This decision prompted a move to Boston, where she studied with jazz legends Jerry Bergonzi and Charlie Banacos.
Nina has performed with numerous musicians from both jazz and latin idioms, including Ralph Peterson, Jesus Andujar, Gerald Cleaver, Mark Turner, Equie Castrillo, Kenwood Dennard, Bernardo Hernandez and Harvey Wirht. She is a member of the Winnie Dahlgren Quintet, which toured Denmark this past year. Nina has toured Europe, Asia, the Caribbean and the Northeastern US.
Ms. Ott is currently on Faculty at Berklee College of Music, where she teaches arranging. Her latest CD, "Migration", which features her original compositions is slated for release in 2005.
"As I listened to Nina Ott's new works, it became obvious to me that she has a true passion for creating fresh and exciting compositional landscapes." -Bennie Maupin

-----------------------------------------------------
Started in spring 2004, the "Audible Think" series is presented downstairs at Gallery X, 169 William Street, New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. Series produced by jazz pianist/composer Andy McWain and Fuller Street Music.
  The Audible Think Improvised Music Series will bring exceptional live modern music to the audiences of southcoast Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This series intends to present a genre of musical artistic expression that has real relevance to our modern world, and continues the "dialogue between art and the lives of ordinary people." It will draw on musicians from throughout the region to create a mix of vitality and variety in a series that incorporates the influences of experimental chamber jazz, creative music, contemporary composition, avant-garde, and free jazz. Gallery X in New Bedford, Massachusetts, an artist cooperative, is a great venue for this project because of its revolving exhibits and its contemporary stance in the community. We believe that presenting modern music within an organization dedicated to modern arts will make some listeners more sympathetic to what they hear. On the southcoast of Massachusetts and an hour from Boston and 45 minutes from Providence, the city of New Bedford is five years into a cultural renaissance which was marked by the city's designation with Whaling National Historical Park status.
