Notes:
Chick Corea's diverse musical interests occasionally led him to explore Middle Eastern-inspired themes and sounds. His work in jazz fusion often incorporated elements from various world music traditions, including modal scales and rhythmic patterns that could evoke Middle Eastern music. Corea's collaborations with musicians from different cultural backgrounds and his interest in expanding the harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary of jazz sometimes resulted in compositions and improvisations that resonated with Middle Eastern musical concepts. While not a primary focus of his career, these explorations contributed to the broader trend of incorporating global influences into jazz.
