Notes:
Ulf Wakenius has shown interest in incorporating diverse musical influences into his jazz guitar playing, which has occasionally included elements that resonate with Middle Eastern music. While not primarily focused on Middle Eastern themes, Wakenius' collaborations with musicians from various cultural backgrounds and his exploration of world music styles have led to compositions and performances that sometimes feature modal scales, rhythmic patterns, or melodic phrases inspired by Middle Eastern musical traditions. His versatility and openness to different musical cultures have allowed him to create a style that can bridge Western jazz with global musical concepts, including those from the Middle East.
