Notes: Gregory Porter's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music is not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focuses on jazz, soul, and gospel influences. However, Porter's rich baritone voice and his ability to convey deep emotion in his performances sometimes result in phrasing and vocal techniques that may share some similarities with Middle Eastern vocal traditions. His interest in spiritual themes and his global approach to music might occasionally lead to subtle incorporations of elements that could be associated with Middle Eastern or other non-Western musical concepts, particularly in his more experimental or collaborative works.
