Notes:
Archie Shepp's exploration of Middle Eastern themes is part of his broader interest in non-Western musical traditions. While not a primary focus of his work, Shepp has occasionally incorporated modal scales and rhythmic patterns reminiscent of Middle Eastern music into his compositions and improvisations, particularly in his more experimental pieces.
