ルイ・アームストロングと並んで、1920年代の最も影響力のあるソロイストであった。特に1927年の『Singin' the Blues』『I'm Coming, Virginia』は音色の純粋さ・即興演奏の才能を証明している。この2曲はジャズのバラード・スタイルを発明し、1950年代のクール・ジャズのヒントになった。
2004, inducted into the inaugural class of the Lincoln Center's Nesuhi Ertegun Jazz Hall of Fame[17]
2006, the 1927 recording of "Singin' the Blues" with Frankie Trumbauer and Eddie Lang was placed on the U.S. Library of Congress National Recording Registry.
2007, inducted into the Gennett Records Walk of Fame in Richmond, Indiana[18]

The Beiderbecke Trilogy, a three-part 1980s British (Yorkshire Television) television series (The Beiderbecke Affair, The Beiderbecke Tapes and The Beiderbecke Connection) with a jazz soundtrack in the Beiderbecke style performed by Frank Ricotti and cornetist Kenny Baker, as the hero is a Beiderbecke fan.
Williams acknowledges that "Young himself gave most of the credit to [Frankie] Trumbauer [...] but I doubt if a man who carried Singin' the Blues around in his tenor case was unaffected by Bix's part in it" (p. 69).
