Up in the front, they had used arrivals, with both good finds and reasonable prices. Elsewhere, I spotted some harder to find items (Europe-only releases, etc.) In a few areas of the store, they also have a lot of hi-fi related equipment. While not something I could take advantage of (no way I'm taking back a pricey turntable on the long flight home), it was fun eye-candy. It seemed like the staff was very knowledgeable and willing to help the customers who were interested in those bigger purchases. Definitely recommend for vinyl collectors coming into town!

Every time I set my foot onto the inner yard of Bare Jazz, I ask myself why I don't do it far more…read moreoften. It is like I forget that it exists. Maybe it is because It's situated in a part of town where I rarely spend time, or because they don't serve any proper lunch. Or maybe it is because this well hidden inner yard possess some magical power that cuts it of from the rumble and tumble of everyday life - because that is for sure how it feels like. Bare Jazz is Scandinavia's biggest jazz music store, providing knowledgeable staff and a good selection. On the second floor there is a small café and bar that serves nice coffee, wine, beer, and some simple cakes and sandwiches (as mentioned before: for a proper lunch you better go somewhere else). And on the secluded yard jazz music is playing all day long, flower pots are blooming and at the first drops of rain big awnings are unrolled. There are plenty of seating outside, but not so many inside. Go here to relax, sip a cup of coffee and listen to John Coltrane doing what he does best. Or bring your laptop and do some work, or your date for that sake! If you're a jazz fan, Bare Jazz is the place for all occasions.
