Ezra Cohen: “Catchin’ Up”
Written By Michael Gutierrez
Rocking the apostrophe in place of the dropped-’g’ always feels like a dicey proposition. Is it too affected? Sure, we drop some of our ‘g’s in everyday speech, but what’s the proper grammatical convention when it comes to writing? Musicians always get a pass when it comes to these things. Check out some of Miles Davis’ albums:
Walkin' (1957)
Cookin' (1957)
Relaxin' (1958)
Workin' (1959)
Steamin' (1961)
The master jazz trumpeter was crankin’ out the tunes. Who has time for the letter ‘g’? If it’s good enough for Miles Davis, it’s good enough for Ezra Cohen.
