The Arun Ramamurthy Trio has two Bay Area concerts next weekend, in Berkeley and SF. Here's how the press release describes this group:
The Arun Ramamurthy Trio brings a fresh and seamless fusion of South Indian classical and jazz music. Through explosive improvisation, they reimagine traditional Carnatic compositions while incorporating modern jazz elements.
Arun's original music, influenced by Carnatic ragas and rhythms, is complemented by the rhythmic prowess of drummer Sameer Gupta and electric bassist Damon Banks. The trio's collaboration finds a harmonious balance between the rigor of Indian classical modes and the freedom of a jazz trio.
Ramamurthy's violin blends the beauty of Indian classical melodies with the soulful essence of American fiddle, evoking feelings of longing and joy reminiscent of both Indian devotional music and certain strains of jazz.
