Pushkar Bahadur budapriti was not only the best trumpet player in Darjeeling of the '50s, but he was also an unsparing father every time his son dambar played a wrong note. When Pushkar became George Banks to gel with the names of his English bandmates, he rechristened dambar Bahadur budapriti as louiz Banks. George was the best music teacher louiz could ever hope for, and the most endearing lesson the young louiz learnt was a three-step process to become a successful musician: imitation, integration and innovation. The musical journey of Louis Banks, the Indian counterpart to the modern-day jazz legends like herbie Hancock and chick Correa, spans over five decades and is steeped in surprising twists and turns.
