Arun Ramamurthy Trio

The Arun Ramamurthy Trio (ART) brings together South Indian classical Carnatic music and contemporary jazz in an organic integration of styles. The group expands on traditional forms in explosive, improvisational flights of fancy, exploring the kindred spirits of raga music and jazz. ART’s collaborative sound is driven by the dynamic rhythm section of drummer Sameer Gupta and electric bassist Damon Banks, while Arun’s original work tells stories of migration and cultural connection. “… a beautiful, exotic, ear-opening listening experience” (All About Jazz).
