Notes:
Herb Alpert's exploration of Middle Eastern themes in music is not a prominent aspect of his career. However, his openness to diverse musical influences and his interest in world music have occasionally led to the incorporation of elements that could be associated with Middle Eastern or other non-Western musical traditions. Alpert's use of modal scales, certain rhythmic patterns, and sometimes even instrumentation choices in some of his compositions might evoke Middle Eastern flavors. These elements are usually subtly integrated into his overall pop-jazz style, contributing to the eclectic and globally-influenced nature of his music rather than being an explicit focus on Middle Eastern themes.
