The most soulful music store in the Bay area without a doubt. Primarily they offer music lessons. Guitar, Bass, Trumpet, Saxophone, Piano, drums and more. The emphasis is on jazz. Rumor has it that several of their instructors played with the likes of Coltrane, Miles Davis, Jimmy Smith and others back in the day. The place has been cleaned up lately and the inventory of instruments and accessories has been extended. They have also added an art gallery to the establishment featuring artists based in the local neighborhood. It was listed in the SF Chronicle as the number one spot to visit in the Laurel District. They have been in business for 38 years. Throughout the same owner, J Rose, has been at the helm. J was a journeyman jazz drummer himself and has some incredible stories to tell. Support this killer local independent business. One of the last of a dying breed.
