His unique improvisational style and sense of rhythm, space, and harmony made him an influential innovator. His music is known for its humorous, playful quality and many of his compositions, such as "'Round Midnight", "Blue Monk", "Straight, No Chaser", "Ruby, My Dear", "In Walked Bud", and "Well, You Needn't", became jazz standards.
