Traditional Pakistani Music Meets American Jazz

Check out this BBC segment about an orchestra in Pakistan that plays jazz music from America. You can hear Paul Desmond's "Take Five" with strings, tabla, and sitar. UPDATE: It's now the top selling jazz album on iTunes! By the way, even though the announcer credits the piece to pianist Dave Brubeck, it was written by his saxophonist Desmond. Most people assume Brubeck wrote it because it's his most famous and most requested piece, just like Duke Ellington didn't write his theme song "Take the 'A' Train." That classic was composed by his collaborator, Billy Strayhorn.
