KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we are in The Nola Penthouse Studio, 111 W 57th St. NYC, on either Feb 6th, 9th or 10th for "Killer Joe" by The Jazztet (featuring Art Farmer and Benny Golson) first released on the "Meet The Jazztet LP" on Argo in 1960... "The Jazztet was a 6-piece band formed in November, 1959 and was co-led by trumpeter Art Farmer and saxophonist Benny Golson, who also wrote "Killer Joe". Both men had been playing professionally since the 1940s, Art Farmer leaving us in 1999 at age 71, but Benny is still with us aged 92! The LP also features McCoy Tyner, who would leave the Jazztet to work with John Coltrane. There is a spoken word introduction, but I have left it off as, to me, it wears a bit thin on repeated listens." - KV
