Notes:
John Zorn has extensively explored Middle Eastern themes in his music, particularly through his engagement with Jewish musical traditions. His Masada projects and compositions often incorporate elements of klezmer and Middle Eastern scales and rhythms. Zorn's work frequently bridges the gap between avant-garde jazz, contemporary classical music, and various Middle Eastern musical traditions. His exploration of these themes is both musical and cultural, often reflecting on Jewish identity and its connections to Middle Eastern heritage.
