Notes: Louis Armstrong's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on traditional jazz, swing, and popular music. However, as a versatile and innovative musician, Armstrong occasionally incorporated elements from various musical traditions into his performances. While not explicitly exploring Middle Eastern themes, his openness to diverse musical influences and his ability to adapt his style may have led to occasional incorporation of exotic or non-Western elements in some of his performances or recordings.
