Notes:
Joe Zawinul's exploration of world music influences, including those from the Middle East, was a significant aspect of his career. His work with Weather Report and his later projects often incorporated elements from various global musical traditions. Zawinul's use of synthesizers and his interest in creating unique soundscapes allowed him to evoke Middle Eastern tonal qualities and rhythms in his compositions. His approach to fusion music often blended jazz with elements that could be associated with Middle Eastern and other non-Western musical concepts.
