Notes:
Miles Davis' exploration of modal jazz and his later fusion work occasionally incorporated elements that resonated with Middle Eastern musical traditions. His album "Sketches of Spain" and tracks like "Flamenco Sketches" show his interest in non-Western scales and rhythms. Davis' use of modal structures and his emphasis on space and texture in his music sometimes evoked qualities found in Middle Eastern music. His collaborations with musicians from diverse backgrounds and his constant push for innovation in jazz often led to the incorporation of global influences, including those from the Middle East, particularly in his later fusion period.
