The EF Orchestra is an international eleven-piece jazz ensemble based in 
Groningen, the Netherlands, the creation of which was inspired by the 
legendary Woody Shaw album "Rosewood" (1977). The title track of Rosewood 
features a large ensemble of 12 musicians from which the EFO is lacking only 
one - the percussion player. The composition carried the deeper meaning of 
honoring Woody Shaw's parents. As a sign of respect and to develop and keep 
both - the spiritual and the musical tradition that the great trumpeter left, the EFO 
focuses on performing original music and arrangements of Woody Shaw. 
Consisting of fine classical and jazz musicians and being a large ensemble but still not
a big band, the EFO has the unique quality of combining the beautiful textures, provided
by the variety of instruments, and  keeping the individual voice of each of its members.

Timotej Kotnik (Slovenia) - trumpet
Giuseppe Andrea Rinaldi (Italy) - soprano saxophone
