Notes:
Idrees Sulieman's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on bebop and hard bop jazz styles. However, his conversion to Islam and adoption of a Muslim name suggest a personal connection to Islamic culture, which may have subtly influenced his musical approach. While not explicitly exploring Middle Eastern musical themes, Sulieman's background and spiritual journey might have informed his phrasing or improvisational choices in ways that occasionally resonated with Middle Eastern musical concepts. Any incorporation of Middle Eastern elements in his music would likely have been subtle and integrated into his overall jazz style.
