KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week it's back to 1958 and over to Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, for Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers' "Moanin'"... ""Moanin'" was written by pianist Bobby Timmons, who is on this record along with Art Blakey (drums), Lee Morgan (trumpet), Benny Golson (tenor sax), and Jymie Merritt (bass). Although the Blue Note Records LP was self-titled, it soon became known as "Moanin', as the tune fast became a hard bop classic. Thus far, any record with engineer Rudy Van Gelder's name on it has, for me, been worth hearing." - KV

KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we're off to Germany in 1972 for "Vitamin C" by Can... "I must confess that this track was only recently introduced to me by my #1 son Jack. Although the name Can and the term Krautrock would have been in the English music papers in 1972, I paid it no mind. Probably didn't like the way that it looked and so never bothered to listen. For something recorded 45 year ago, it sounds very modern to me. Right now it's the only track by Can I know." - KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week I'm taking you all to New Orleans for Professor Longhair's "Go to the Mardi Gras" on the Ron label, from 1959... "It's not often I make a choice based on what I'm up to, but this week I cannot resist as I'm actually going to New Orleans! "Go to the Mardi Gras", also known as "Mardi Gras In New Orleans", was co-written by "Fess" and he recorded it several times. In the the late 40s, for Ron in 1959, and again in the 1970s when he had a major resurgence and finally got the acclaim he deserved as the King of The New Orleans Piano Players. Bon Temps Roulet!" - KV
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week it's New York City in 1966 with Bobby Hebb's "Sunny"... "The term 'One Hit Wonder' does really seem to apply to Bobby Hebb. I once rushed his LP "Sunny" home, only to hear that the hit title track was the only 'keeper' on it. I like everything about the single: the singing, the playing and the production. Perhaps because it was covered so much by TV-friendly MOR artists, the song has not always gotten the respect it deserves as a great soul record." - KV
