Tom 1960 Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 FWIW, I was just on J & R Music's website and see a good number of Blue Note titles selling once again for 6.99 and also OJC's for 8.99. Take a look and maybe save yourself a few bucks? J & R Music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Larsen Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I was just going to start a thread lamenting the fact that over the past two weeks the floorspace dedicated to jazz at J&R has been notably scaled back - jazz and blues are now in the same room. This was not unforeseen, but a bummer nonetheless. I found going to J&R to be a lot more fun and often a much better deal than shopping online. Plus, the weekly walk from Soho down to Park Row was a substantial portion of my exercise regimen. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertrand Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) I like that - I walk to the record store to get exercise! That's the ticket! Jan, you have given us married guys everywhere a great new excuse for going to the record store three times a week! Bertrand.

Jan, you have given us married guys everywhere a great new excuse for going to the record store three times a week! Bertrand. In the old days, back when I was in town (NYC) a lot and I was still getting a lot of exercise, I used to walk from 25th st down to Tower in the Village quite a bit.

That's not good news. I'd been going there quite a bit in the past year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewinder Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Plus, the weekly walk from Soho down to Park Row was a substantial portion of my exercise regimen. Oh well. Is that the J&R that is close to the site of the WTC? Last time I was in there (a couple of years ago now) they had the Free America's on 'special' and a couple of copies of the 'Jazz In Paris' behemoth in stock. No doubt all long gone now..

In the old days, back when I was in town (NYC) a lot and I was still getting a lot of exercise, I used to walk from 25th st down to Tower in the Village quite a bit. I can go one better .... 1988/89. when I was on a Gannett Fellowship at Columbia University, I lived on 106th Street (Duke Ellington Street) ... On Saturdays, and even some following Sundays, I would meander all the way down Broadway to J & R .... I loved that walk, buying books, flea market LPs, and sundry goodies along the way, and then take the subway home. During my 10 months living in N.Y. I lost over 50 lbs without going on diet. In Houston, where it is either too hot to walk, or there is not much to window shop for, I have had to devise a rigorous exercise program to control my weight. I sure miss that walk!

PHILLYQ Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I went there yesterday looking for a disc by Tab Benoit, and headed directly to where the blues section used to be. I looked & looked and then actually had to ask where it was. They put blues and N'awlins music in the jazz section, thus making the jazz section even smaller! I think the only reason they even have a decent jazz section is because Jan & Rochelle Friedman, the owners, are jazz fans. J&R also puts on some shows at City Hall park every year, and I was fortunate to catch Stefon Harris a couple years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
