Calefax – a classical reed quintet – and the Jungle Boldie (Tony Overwater Trio) – a jazz ensemble – joined forces in 2006 to perform several suites that were written for the Duke Ellington orchestra. Following the huge successes of concerts in the Netherlands (both on classical music stages and in jazz venues such as the Bimhuis and North Sea Jazz) and the internationally acclaimed CD, they are planning a concert series in 2008/2009 through the Near, Middle and Far East. These were the countries that Duke Ellington toured with his orchestra in 1963, and that inspired him to write his famous Far East Suite: from Cyprus and Greece, through Lebanon and Iraq, to India and Japan.
