Notes:
Bud Powell's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a significant aspect of his career. His work was primarily focused on advancing the language of bebop jazz. However, Powell's innovative approach to harmony and rhythm sometimes resulted in complex musical structures that could evoke non-Western musical concepts. While not explicitly drawing from Middle Eastern traditions, his exploratory style may have occasionally produced sounds or textures that resonated with elements of Middle Eastern music.
