Alto saxophonist Pierre Bertrand and his group Caja Negra covered Duke Ellington's entire Far East Suite in a 2018 album, and did a very nice job. Here they play "Amad" and "Isfahan" live in the studio. A YouTube link to the entire album follows. Please enjoy these original renditions of some of my favorite Duke.
