Arun Ramamurthy trio (USA)
www.arunramamurthytrio.com
The Arun Ramamurthy Trio (ART) creates a groundbreaking fusion of South Indian Carnatic traditions and contemporary jazz, weaving masterful improvisations through ancient ragas and modern rhythms.
“A splendid, cohesive, faultless, and spontaneous musical dialogue”
“This music pulls the listener in right from the first notes, like an invitation, constantly beckoning to follow close
behind. The music is always in motion, and just within reach.”
Led by violinist Arun Ramamurthy alongside drummer Sameer Gupta and bassist Damon Banks, the trio explores themes of migration and ancestral wisdom through original compositions. Their "New Moon Suite," commissioned by Chamber Music America's New Jazz Works, premiered in NYC and showcases Ramamurthy's innovative approach. The ensemble has performed at prestigious venues worldwide, including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Bimhuis Amsterdam, Kennedy Center, and Pioneer Works.
