Notes: Eddie Harris's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on jazz, funk, and R&B fusion. However, Harris's innovative approach to music and his willingness to experiment with different sounds and styles may have occasionally led to the incorporation of elements that could be associated with Middle Eastern or other non-Western musical traditions. Any such influences would likely have been subtle and integrated into his overall eclectic style rather than being an explicit focus.
