Notes:
Les McCann's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music is not a significant aspect of his career. His work primarily focuses on soul jazz and funk styles. However, McCann's eclectic approach to music and his interest in various forms of expression 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 or fusion-oriented projects. Any such influences would likely be subtle and integrated into his overall soul jazz and funk style.
