Notes:
Clifford Brown's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his short but influential career. His work primarily focused on advancing the language of bebop and hard bop jazz. However, Brown's innovative approach to harmony and his exploration of modal jazz concepts may have occasionally resulted in musical phrases or compositions that shared some similarities with Middle Eastern musical elements. Any such influence would likely have been subtle and integrated into his overall jazz style rather than being an explicit focus of his work.
