This is a personal favorite for many funk / rare groove / jazz DJs. It is a small record store that has been in existence for many years. The inventory is carried by a really knowledgeable cat that can breakdown any historic moment in music history - particularly the world of jazz and funk. Strictly come here if you are interested in picking up some funky, rare tunes, and pay a pretty penny for them as well. But it is the place to find the rare groove you are looking for.
