Notes:
Freddie Hubbard's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on advancing the language of jazz trumpet within bebop and post-bop contexts. However, Hubbard's exploration of modal jazz and his interest in expanding the harmonic vocabulary of jazz sometimes resulted in compositions or improvisations that shared some characteristics with Middle Eastern musical concepts, such as the use of certain scales or rhythmic patterns. Any influence of Middle Eastern music in Hubbard's work would likely have been subtle and integrated into his overall jazz style rather than being an explicit focus.
