Where to find Jazz Record Center
What's in the crates
“As someone with very average knowledge of jazz, I felt completely out of my depth—until I met the sweet and kind owner Fred Cohen, who made the experience incredibly welcoming.”
What collectors say again and again
“Amazing selection of jazz CDs, vinyl, posters, DVDs, and books.”
“Still, the stock is plentiful and there are fun additions like posters and books about jazz as well.”

What customers say
THIS PLACE IS A JAZZ LOVER’S DREAM. Extensive selection of jazz, even contemporary jazz / nu jazz — the records are well organised and decently priced. If you love jazz, you *will* find a record or 5 to take home with you. Will definitely be back!
Fun spot to hunt for jazz and blues records and CDs. Prices are generally fair, though there are no bargains to be found and I found it to be slightly higher than average (hence four instead of five stars). Still, the stock is plentiful and there are fun additions like posters and books about jazz as well.
Great selection of jazz music in LP and CDs. More wax than plastic. New and used stock. More used than new. Pretty good prices too. There is no store front. You have buzz in from the street of catch the door when someone is leaving the building. It’s an elevator ride up. Friendly-ish staff.
staff is often a bit pretentious, but in an old-timey librarian sense that i find almost entertaining. like steve buscemi in ghost world, but a few notches less endearing. anyway, none of the prices are *great*, but it is truly worth going to. one of a kind shop, entering the place is entering a world all its own.
