Notes:
Larry Clinton's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a significant aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on swing and popular music of the 1930s and 1940s. As a bandleader and arranger during this era, Clinton may have occasionally incorporated "exotic" elements into his music to appeal to contemporary tastes for the novel and unusual. However, any such references to Middle Eastern music would likely have been superficial and based on Western perceptions of Middle Eastern culture rather than authentic musical traditions.
