Notes:
Jackie McLean's exploration of Middle Eastern themes in music was not a primary focus of his career. However, his work in modal jazz sometimes incorporated scales and rhythmic concepts that shared similarities with Middle Eastern music. McLean's interest in expanding the harmonic and rhythmic vocabulary of jazz occasionally led to compositions and improvisations that resonated with non-Western musical traditions, including those from the Middle East.
