Arun Ramamurthy Trio (ART) brings a fresh approach to age-old South Indian raga music. 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. Arun’s original work tells stories of migration and cultural connection. His piece commissioned by CMA's New Jazz Works, New Moon Suite shines a light on the teachings and wisdom of our ancestors. ART's collaborative sound is driven by the propulsive and soulful rhythm section of drummer Sameer Gupta & and electric bassist Damon Banks.
