@junkyman2 What an amazing coincidence - another Vivek that plays the trumpet! Thanks for the compliment, although this trumpet solo is anything but dream-shattering. (Unless your dream is to drain a handle of Jim Beam, on stage, while playing at a high school Christmas concert!) Let this be dream-restoring, and please keep up the impressive playing, Vivek - your youtube videos are great.

For years i thought i was the only east Indian dude named Vivek that played trumpet, until I ran across the Beantown Swing Orch. on youtube that has the younger, more talented Vivek who can obviously play jazz. I'm more of a classical person myself but enjoy listening to jazz. Anyway, if any of you know this guy, tell him he shattered someones dreams in Vegas. Peace Vee. (Vivek Narang). By the way, this group sounds great.
