Jones's big-band compositions, especially post-Basie, employed similar rhythmic lines with astringent block-chord voicings demanding great virtuosity from the performers. They also incorporated some of the more recent freedoms of small-group work and set new standards for the next generation of composers, arrangers, and performers.


Jones, who taught regularly, often took part in clinics, played in schools, and gave free concerts in prisons. His lessons emphasized music history as well as drumming technique. In 2001, Jones was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music from Berklee College of Music.[17]


Jones's sense of timing, polyrhythms, dynamics, timbre, and legato phrasing helped bring the drumset to the foreground. In a 1970 profile published in Life Magazine, Albert Goldman dubbed Jones "the world's greatest rhythm drummer",[19] and his free-flowing style was a major influence on many leading drummers, including Christian Vander (Magma), Mitch Mitchell[20] (whom Jimi Hendrix called "my Elvin Jones"[21]), Ginger Baker,[22] Bill Bruford,[23] John Densmore (The Doors) and Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney).
