Described as “South Indian/Carnatic jazz,” the Arun Ramamurthy Trio is made up of violinist Ramamurthy (a member of the exalted Brooklyn Raga Massive collective), drummer Sameer Gupta, and electric bassist Damon Banks. The animated unit freely explores the kindred spirits of raga music and jazz as it explodes into improvisational flights of fancy, an approach that’s on full display on their ear-opening 2024 debut, New Moon, which was named Jazz Album of the Month at Bandcamp Daily. 7pm. $20.
