Han havde svært ved at slå igennem, mange musikere opfattede ham nærmest som respektløs, uskolet eller slet og ret primitiv. I 1958 blev nogle etablerede jazzmusikere, bl.a. John Lewis, dog opmærksomme på hans spil.
Hans højst personlige sange udgør effektive affyringsramper for musikernes improvisationer.
Han fremtrådte også som trompetist og violinist med forskellige besætninger på koncerter og plader i USA og Europa.
I 1975 dannede han et elektrisk ensemble, Prime Time, og har senere spillet på festivaler og koncerter med bl.a. sin søn, trommeslageren Denardo Coleman født i 1956.
