Notes:
Phil Woods' connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on bebop and straight-ahead jazz styles. However, Woods' versatility and openness to various 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 collaborative projects. Any such influences would likely be subtle and integrated into his overall jazz style rather than being an explicit focus on Middle Eastern themes.
