Song Title: Pyramid

Artist: The Modern Jazz Quartet

Year Released: 1960
Wikipedia Summary: The Modern Jazz Quartet was an influential American jazz ensemble. While not primarily associated with Middle Eastern music, the group's sophisticated approach to jazz and their exploration of various musical influences occasionally led them to incorporate elements that could be seen as having connections to Middle Eastern sounds. Their use of modal structures, complex rhythms, and the vibraphone's unique timbre sometimes evoked sounds reminiscent of Middle Eastern music. The group's interest in blending jazz with classical music and other world music traditions may have led to subtle incorporations of Middle Eastern musical concepts. However, any Middle Eastern influences in their music were likely integrated into their broader jazz vocabulary rather than being a primary focus of their work.
