Song Title: White Nile

Artist: Phil Cohran

Year Released: 2010
Wikipedia Summary: Phil Cohran was an American jazz trumpeter, composer, and instrument maker. While not primarily associated with Middle Eastern music, Cohran's innovative approach to jazz and his interest in diverse musical traditions occasionally led him to incorporate elements that could be seen as having connections to Middle Eastern sounds. His work with the Artistic Heritage Ensemble often explored various cultural influences, potentially including Middle Eastern musical concepts. Cohran's use of modal scales, his interest in spiritual and cosmic themes, and his exploration of non-Western instruments sometimes evoked sounds reminiscent of Middle Eastern music. However, any Middle Eastern influences in his music were likely part of his broader exploration of African and global musical traditions rather than a specific focus.
