Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The Sachal Jazz Orchestra is an ensemble from Pakistan that has taken various familiar jazz and bossa nova hits such as 'Take Five' and 'The Girl From Ipanema' and reinterpreted them using South Asian instruments; tablas, sitars, santoors, etc. Often these instruments are combined with western pianos and guitars, and with Bollywood-esque orchestral arrangements.
