Notes:
Red Norvo's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a significant aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on swing and bebop jazz styles. However, Norvo's innovative approach to the vibraphone and his openness to various musical influences may have occasionally led to the incorporation of elements that could be associated with exotic or non-Western sounds. Any such influences would likely be subtle and integrated into his overall jazz style rather than being an explicit exploration of Middle Eastern musical themes.
