Brooklyn violinist Arun Ramamurthy is an Indo-jazz explorer who creates strikingly beautiful music fusing the spirit of raga music and jazz. Steeped in the Carnatic musical tradition of South India but also versed in North Indian Hindustani forms, he’s a prolific composer who has created scores for plays, dance productions and fellow musicians. His powerhouse trio features electric bassist Damon Banks, a global force also versed in West and North African rhythms, and drummer Sameer Gupta. Now based in the East Bay, Gupta spent nearly two decades in New York City, where he and Ramamurthy co-founded the widely influential collective Brooklyn Raga Massive, which continues to serve as a creative hub for a creatively charged cadre of artists inspired by Carnatic music.
