Notes:
Pete LaRoca Sims' connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a significant aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on hard bop and post-bop jazz styles. However, LaRoca's innovative approach to rhythm and his openness to diverse musical influences 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 jazz style.
