Nifty little music store selling a lot of avant garde, jazz, classical, etc. Came here mostly for John Zorn releases and was delighted to talk to Bruce all about Zorn. Walked right past the place when trying to find it as there arent any big signs or anything haha.
This place is truly a hidden gem for jazz lovers! Plus, the owner is so kind with a genuine love for music. After discussing my appreciation for the pianist Stanley Cowell, and purchasing two great albums at the shop featuring him, Bruce gifted me a CD featuring more of his work! I’m so appreciative and I highly recommend this store!
Must go if you’re in the area. Place is a gem and owner is the best.
Cool place, if you like CDs and other physical media.
Great place, very kind and helpful staff. I found lots of great cds from a broad range of styles and genres aswell as a gorgeous tshirt. Thanks bruce&co!
The man there was very knowledgeable in music and just had a lot of positive energy. Would really recommend checking it out
I have been going here since Bruce opened on East 5th Street. This store is so unique! The personal touch and the niche, quirky, off-the-charts music here is like nowhere else, plus live performances. This is the perfect store for music lovers with the best taste in real music, beyond "Lunch....", it is truly "Dessert for Your Ears".
Amazing spot! Super niche with authentic New Yorker vibes—you should definitely check it out. Just be careful and watch your step!
Best place to go for obscure avant-garde music.
Eclectic collection of CDs for diggers . The tunes playing in the shop are always rad. Bruce has some awesome nyc stories about music/shows to share Love this spot
