Song Title: Where Are The Hebrew Children?

Artist: Charlie Byrd

Year Released: 1963
Wikipedia Summary: Charlie Byrd was an American jazz guitarist. While primarily known for his work in jazz and bossa nova, Byrd's eclectic musical interests and classical guitar training occasionally led him to explore sounds and techniques that shared some similarities with Middle Eastern music. His use of nylon-string guitar and his interest in modal playing sometimes evoked tonal qualities reminiscent of Middle Eastern string instruments. Byrd's collaborations with various world music artists throughout his career may have exposed him to Middle Eastern musical concepts, which he might have subtly incorporated into his jazz vocabulary. However, any direct Middle Eastern influences in his music were not a primary focus of his work.
