Vadodara, Gujarat, India (NewsVoir) The Brewery transformed into a haven of soulful rhythms on Wednesday as As It Is took the stage, weaving a tapestry of classic and contemporary jazz with effortless finesse. The evening’s allure was magnified by the presence of 17-year-old jazz pianist Armaan Khurana, who graced the ensemble as a guest performer, adding a youthful yet profound resonance to the performance.

Armaan, a high school student whose fervent devotion to jazz eclipses his years, collaborated seamlessly with As It Is, a collective of young, accomplished musicians: Sidheshwar Malakar, Pranav Joshi, and Riddesh Acharya. His dexterous command over the piano captivated the audience, while his specially curated saxophone renditions offered glimpses of his versatility and deep artistic commitment.

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. Armaan had approached the band with an earnest request to perform alongside them, and after an impromptu audition, his artistry and sincerity left a lasting impression, earning him an invitation to join their live performance.

Throughout the evening, the band meandered through beloved jazz standards and contemporary interpretations, inviting the audience into an immersive sonic journey of tranquility and exhilaration. Every member of the ensemble found their moment to shine, with Armaan’s interplay adding layers of warmth and sophistication to the soundscape.

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.
