As a writer and proofreader, I have no problem with the original. Clearly you're a prescriptive grammarian. Grammar is a guideline, and usage evolves. "Rules" like particples should not be placed at the end of sentences are pretty much anal retentive clinging to useless prescriptions that go against common usage and understanding. The original sentence is perfectly "proper English."

Actually, I realize there is a potential audience for the supplies. A number of older writers refused to switch from typewriter to computer, so maybe through the author's guild or something you could offer the stuff.

First time I ever heard of him was on a Charles Tolliver album. He's been in Europe so long he's sort of off the U.S. radar. I think he succeeded Tootie Heath as the straight-ahead drummer of choice for guys like Kenny Drew and others.

I believe RCA may have released Forms & Sounds at the same time as Bill Dixon's Intents & Purposes, kind of a free jazz meets contemporary classical thing. The Dixon album is much more successful. I guess this pairing makes sense, though, now that both albums are part of the same big, happy corporate family.

That was one big voice.

I never would have guessed. Where does that fit chronologically with your pursuit of blues, soul/R&B and gospel?

That's weird--I thought I was responding directly after John McLaughlin. Anouar Brahem Ibrahim Ferrer Abraham
