Quantifying the 77-year-oldโ€™s significance is impossible, but people try anyway.

A brilliant artist with a musicologistโ€™s mind, he has pursued and elevated the roots of beloved sounds with boundless devotion and skill. Then, as he traced origins to the American South, the Caribbean, Africa, and elsewhere, he created entirely new sounds, over and over again.
