Where to find Downtown Music Gallery
What's in the crates
“It's a little bit of a hole in the wall but if you're looking for a great cd selection of instrumental jazz and new obscure artists this is the place to be!”
What collectors say again and again
“Cool store with a small selection of cassette tapes.”
“I am always glad to buy CDs without limitations here which I did today if only we had more time to listen to music I come here every time I am in NYC which is not that often.”
“One Of A Kind Legendary Record Store In Downtown Manhattan Featuring Great Free Live Music Concerts From Both Local And International Talents Every Tuesday Night!”
What customers say
awesome staff that isn't overwhelming with music knowledge and pretentious like most record shops. the selection is pretty vast and the suggestions i was given ended up being records i bought and have already thoroughly enjoyed.
Every time I travel I look for CD shops and buy something. Apparently in Manhattan there are only two places still selling CDs, and this one is a real gem. The music selection is great and the owner is nice to talk to and very knowledgeable.
Owner is knowledgeable and fun to talk to. They host live shows once a week. The space is small and intimate. It feels like you’re walking into a studio session, which is really special. The record selection is wild. I always find something new, and many times, the owner is the one who helps me discover it.
Bruce's broad knowledge in music goes back to the 60's and covers multifaceted genres. His strength comes from this and is only exceeded by his cordial manner and friendly conversational skills. If you want music from Canterbury to Avant-garde this is the place and Bruce is the man.
