mandrill Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 I moved here few months ago and looking for familiar sights & sounds. Any suggestions of clubs, jazz events, record/CD stores in the area (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill)? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave9199 Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 I just moved to Durham last month. I don't know about jazz stuff, but if you want rock stuff, Schoolkids in Chapel Hill on East Franklin St is a good place. One store is for new and one store is used and they're right next door to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have stores in Carrboro, Durham & Raleigh. Also CD Alley in Carrboro/Chapel Hill is the one I'm about to check. Have you been there? Do they sell any vinyl?

Eric Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 There are a couple good used places in Raleigh not too far from NC State. One is Reader's Corner and the other is (yes) Nice Price books. They are both on Hillsborough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go to Nice Price Books be sure to say hello to Boardmember sjarrell.....Sandy is a regular contributor and a nice guy. He could probably help you out concerning the local jazz scene.

sjarrell Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Glossed right over this thread last year! Thanks, guys, for the kind words. And I'm at the Raleigh store. Most of the jazz in my life is on CD, as I'm at home with the wife and kid nearly every night. So I'm not gonna be much help. But stop by and chat if you're in town! I'm not as antisocial as you must have figured. Just oblivious. Have you found anything interesting to do in RDU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjarrell Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Since this was mysteriously bumped yesterday, and today's newspaper had this in it, here's some RDU jazz talk: News & Observer article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazztrain Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Any update to this thread? I'll be in Durham for a few days starting tomorrow for a conference and am wondering if there's anything noteworthy to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
