Né en 1922, il a marqué l'histoire du jazz par sa musique intensément personnelle, mêlant influences du gospel, du blues, du bebop et de la musique classique. Ses compositions, souvent complexes et puissamment émotionnelles, reflètent ses engagements sociaux et politiques, en particulier son combat contre le racisme.
