Notes:
Henry "Red" Allen's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a significant aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on early jazz and swing styles. However, Allen's innovative approach to trumpet playing and his willingness to incorporate unconventional elements into his music may have occasionally led to the use of phrases or rhythms that could be perceived as exotic or non-Western. Any such influences would likely have been subtle and integrated into his overall jazz style rather than being an explicit exploration of Middle Eastern musical themes.
