He has collaborated with many local jazz mainstays such as Brad Turner, John Gross, Steve Kaldestad, and Cory Weeds. Based in the tradition, Ramdas’ quintet offers a thrilling set of hard-hitting, swinging compositions and arrangements from the Great American Songbook. The quintet is celebrating the release of their debut CD on Cellar Music called HERE WE GO With Spencer Drody -trumpet, Tamas Balai - alto saxophone, Noah Franche-Nolan - piano, & David Caballero - bass
