Unlike rogues in the British robert farnon society, We Strictly Observe The 11th Commandment Which States “Thou Shalt NOT Speak Ill Of ANY BeautifulMusic Maker.”
Caution: the farnon flock has repeatedly ripped into Our Kosty, charging that He made lousy records from 1960 until He died two decades later.
The Truth Is That His Space Age (After 1960) Records With The Late and Very grrrrrRRRRR8! SuperProducer Teo Macero (1925-2008) Are Kosty’s Best And Brightest.
The Maestro And Macero Made A Few Mistakes. But Way Too Few To Mention.
Andre The “K” Is Andre The GIANT Of BeautifulMusic.
