Notes:
Max Roach's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a primary focus of his career. His work was deeply rooted in bebop and avant-garde jazz traditions. However, Roach's innovative approach to rhythm and his interest in exploring diverse musical influences occasionally led to the incorporation of elements that could be associated with non-Western musical traditions. His collaborations with musicians from various backgrounds and his commitment to using music as a form of cultural and political expression may have included some engagement with Middle Eastern musical concepts, even if not as prominently as his work within the jazz tradition.
