Notes:
Slim Gaillard's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on jazz and comedy. However, Gaillard's eclectic style and his interest in linguistic play sometimes led him to incorporate words or phrases from various languages, which may have occasionally included elements from Middle Eastern languages or cultures. Any such references were likely used more for their comedic or novel effect rather than as a serious exploration of Middle Eastern musical themes.
