Despite being the youngest artist on stage, Armaan exuded a serene confidence, his improvisations dancing gracefully through the chords, reflecting a sensitivity rare in performers of his age. Each note he played was imbued with intention, melding harmoniously into the band’s cohesive, spirited arrangements.

Armaan is incredibly talented and truly gifted,” remarked drummer Riddesh Acharya, recounting how their paths intersected.

Reflecting on the evening, Armaan shared, “It was a great experience to play with them. I’m grateful for the chance and hope to do more in the future.”

As Vadodara steadily blossoms as a cultural hub, evenings like these serve as luminous reminders of the talent quietly nurtured within the city, waiting to find its voice. The performance by As It Is, elevated by Armaan’s presence, was not merely a concert but a heartfelt homage to the timeless spirit of jazz and a glimpse into its luminous future in the city.
