Lawrence Morton's name is shamefully abstent from the new American Grove, but in a sense he was more remarkable for what he was than for what he did.

His achievements were none the less not inconsiderable. As readers of TEMPO will know, his infrequent writings had characteristic directness and style. His ‘Evening on Roof’ concerts brought new perspectives to Los Angles, as well as world premiéres of workes by Stravinsky and Boulez. At Ojai he created one of the most distinguished small festivals in America.
