Making improvements

Hello fellow jazz Wikipedians -- I am currently attempting to improve the quality of this article by improving the nature of the prose and included greater use of citations. It is a slow job but I am almost there. Any additional assistance would be greatly appreciated! Don-music (talk) 13:38, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have temporarily removed the following passage:

His appearances at international jazz festivals grew during this time, with appearances at the Reading,^[1] Windsor, Antibes, Lugano, Vienna and Berlin.

I could find only one decent reference for his appearances (at Reading). While I can find small pictures of old festival programmes from Antibes, etc. I can't find anything usefully citable. I will keep looking and hopefully we can re-insert this passage soon. Don-music (talk) 13:08, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Removing 'multiple issues' warning

Given the improvements made to the article over the past few days, I think we are in a position to remove the 'multiple issues' warning. The article has been improved for readability, the use of reputable sources, and has been expanded. There is always more work to be done but the principal issues have certainly been addressed.

I will leave the warning for the time being but will remove if there are no objections over the next couple of days. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Don-music (talk • contribs) 13:24, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will remove the warning for now -- please respond here if you think it should still apply.

I am pleased to have improved this article considerably. Onwards and upwards! :-) Don-music (talk) 09:59, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
