He was a member of the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians (AACM) and became known in the 1970s for his breakthrough improvisations. His unique work encompasses jazz, experimental, and electronic music. Early collaborations with Anthony Braxton and Muhal Richard Abrams helped create his reputation as one of jazz's most forward-thinking artists.

His 2008 book, A Power Stronger Than Itself, explored AACM's legacy. Lewis was awarded a MacArthur Fellowship in 2002 and has performed at international festivals such as Montreux and Newport.
