The band was started in 2002 by saxophonist iordache. It began as a Sun Ra cover band, due to the leader's fascination with the mythical pianist, arranger and band leader. Its repertory changed to include more original material by iordache, until the name had to be changed to "iordache"

The band played in every possible jazz venue in Romania, at the Stufstock Festival in Vama Veche (2005 and 2006), at the Fanfest in Rosia Montana (2007), at the Jazz and More Festival in Sibiu.

In 2007 "iordache" was invited to play at the Jerusalem Book Fair in Israel and at the Belles Roumaines Festival in Luxembourg.
