En su estilo siempre se ha notado la presencia de Coleman Hawkins, por su sonido denso y voluminoso, y de Charlie Parker, por la libertad de improvisación. Por lo demás, es frecuente su recurso al folclore (el Caribe, los calipsos...), su exposición reiterada de temas, su prolongación de las introducciones, su tendencia a la cita musical (himnos, canciones infantiles...), etc.
