Since his first experiences playing with legendary drummer John Stevens in 1989, Ramanan has been a continuing presence on the London improvised music scene.

He is due to play with his Tentet in Café Oto in March with a new CD “London” on Leo records; a group inspired by the experience of playing with Brotzmann’s own Chicago tentet.
