Description
Arun Ramamurthy Trio (ART) brings together South Indian classical Carnatic music and contemporary American jazz. Boundaries are blurred in this organic and seamless integration of styles as the group expands on traditional forms in explosive, improvisational flights of fancy. The trio freely explores the kindred spirit of raga music and jazz, resulting in a deeply invigorating and spiritual experience. ART’s sound is driven by the dynamic rhythm section of drummer Sameer Gupta & and electric bassist Damon Banks. Their new album “New Moon” on Greenleaf Music is making waves in the jazz and world music scenes, described as “a splendid, cohesive, faultless, and spontaneous musical dialogue” by World Music Central.
