Go to the cathedral instead! Where Britten's 'War Requiem' was premiered. I think I only visited once about 20 years ago - it had one of those soulless, post-war, concrete shopping centres with nothing to speak of record or CD-wise. I've never heard of a record shop with any reputation there. I'd imagine it will have, at best, a functional HMV with precious little jazz. Quote

Try to make for nearby Birmingham. I'm sure resources will be better there. Any Brummie jazzers on the board who can give details? Quote

There used to be a good jazz shop outside the immediate centre, just over one of the interior spaghetti roads - by St Chads church? In arch it was HMV, Zavvi and a Borders all of which were pretty depleted. They had a Tower once but that is long gone. There is a very nice independent in Cheltenham called 'Sounds Good' though that is a good distance. There may be second hand places I don't know of. Quote
Guest youmustbe Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Mike Stern sells his cd's like crazy at the live gigs. He told me that in 2007 he sold 10,000 cd's at live gigs. @20 dollars a piece! Quote
