Notes: Hubert Laws' connection to Middle Eastern themes in music is not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focuses on jazz and classical music. However, Laws' versatility and openness to various musical influences have occasionally led to the incorporation of elements that could be associated with Middle Eastern or other non-Western musical traditions. His mastery of the flute, an instrument with significant presence in Middle Eastern music, allows him to explore tonal qualities and techniques that might evoke Middle Eastern sounds. Any such influences in Laws' music would likely be subtle and integrated into his overall jazz and classical style rather than being an explicit focus on Middle Eastern themes.
