undergroundagent Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hey everyone! It's been a good long time since I last posted. but I know this is still one of the best resources for jazz on the net. I'm visiting Los Angeles and Southern California in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for stores to buy vintage jazz vinyl? Any insights would be appreciated!

colinmce Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I was just there last week and made the rounds to a number of stores. For jazz vinyl, I found Atomic and Freakbeat to be the best (as I was leaving Atomic I saw someone had just dropped off a majorly heavy free jazz collection, but they yelled at me not to flip through it haha). Amoeba's jazz vinyl selection was nice too, but it's a much bigger store and was a bit diluted. Though you didn't ask, for the record in terms of jazz CDs, Amoeba was just incredible. Freakbeat had a much smaller section but the quality was high and prices were low. I found Pooh Bah and Canterbury (both in Pasadena) to be very poor for jazz in both formats. Jacknife was also not good at all imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
