Notes: Kai Winding's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on cool jazz and bossa nova styles. However, Winding's innovative approach to trombone playing and his openness to diverse musical influences may have occasionally led to the incorporation of elements that could be associated with Middle Eastern or other non-Western musical traditions, particularly in his more experimental works or collaborations.
