Notes:
Benny Golson's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music is not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focuses on hard bop and straight-ahead jazz. However, some of his compositions, particularly those exploring modal jazz, may have incorporated elements that share similarities with Middle Eastern musical concepts, such as the use of certain scales or rhythmic patterns.
