Title: DC-area Jazz record shoppes?
Post by: Shaggy 2 Grote on December 12, 2009, 10:01:22 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm getting a Christmas gift for my brother-in-law and am planning on getting him a gift certificate to a record shoppe.  He mostly listens to jazz and the only shoppe I know of down there is Crooked Beat.  Is there anything like Chicago's Dusty Groove, which has a decent selection of used or reissued jazz LPs?  He has a turntable, but he's not a big collector type, and generally likes well-known bebop kind of stuff.  Thanks.

Not sure about jazz specifically but I've seen some good reissues from labels like Mississippi Records at Red Onion, which is about 4 blocks down from Crooked Beat.  If he's willing to drive out to Rockville, Joe's Record Paradise is considered one of the best places for vinyl in the area.  I'm afraid he's probably not going to find anyplace like Dusty Groove though.

Thanks for the recs, Chris L!  He does have a car, so I'll check out Joe's on the web.
