A glorious cover of Paul Desmond’s Take Five (made famous by the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1959) performed by the Sachal Studios Orchestra of Pakistan in 2011.

Before he died last year, Brubeck reportedly said it was the most interesting cover-version of the song he’d ever heard.

More from the orchestra here.

Anyone?
