He was a great sideman to Miles Davis.

Davis kept him on script.

But when left to his own devices...his playing degenerated.

Yes, eventually. To me, albums like Ascension and Meditations (both released in ‘66) and everything after that are noise — unlistenable. But between ‘60 (when he left Miles) and ‘65 he put out some great (albeit inconsistent) music.
