Notes:
Stanley Cowell's connection to Middle Eastern themes in music was not a prominent aspect of his career. His work primarily focused on various forms of jazz, from traditional to avant-garde. However, Cowell's interest in diverse musical traditions and his innovative approach to composition sometimes led to the incorporation of elements that could be associated with non-Western musical concepts. His use of modal structures and exploration of different tonal colors in his piano playing occasionally resulted in sounds that might evoke Middle Eastern musical qualities, even if not explicitly focused on them.
