DeJohnette was born in Chicago, Illinois. Besides the drums, he studied the piano, which he plays on several recordings.

From 1969 to 1972 he played with Miles Davis and recorded many albums for ECM as both leader and sideman. Since the 1980s, he has been a member of what has become known as Keith Jarrett's Standards Trio.

He successfully incorporates elements of free jazz while maintaining the deep groove of an R&B drummer.
