Patrí medzi elitu najvýznamnejších džezových hudobníkov 20. storočia, stal sa zakladateľom mnohých džezových podžánrov, spolupracoval a pomohol v začiatkoch kariéry nadanému klávesákovi Herbie Hancockovi, významnému saxofonistovi John Coltraneovi alebo gitaristovi John McLaughlinovi. Počas svojho pôsobenia hrával mnoho žánrov, prevažne však žánre džezového pôvodu.
V roku 2006 bol uvedený do Rokenrolovej siene slávy a jeho meno je aj na Chodníku slávy v St. Louis.
Zomrel vo veku 65 rokov na zápal pľúc.
