The Jazz Voyager is flying off to the Pacific Northwest to sit in on a set at Hermann’s Jazz Club. Located at 753 View Street, Victoria, British Columbia V8W 1J9, Canada, this restaurant is also a space offering live jazz in a low-key setting. Established in 1981 at the Bastion Inn on Government Street by German entrepreneur Hermann Nieweler, until he moved it to its current corner location in 1986.

Jazz voyagers are going to get their ten dollars worth with the Tom Vickery Trio’s jazz jam tonight where one only hopes to catch some of the city’s finest musicians perform.

The Jazz Voyager is back out in the Midwest at 19 N Gore Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63119 rummaging through the 6000-square foot store called Euclid Records. The store has been in business for 31 years and has over half a million titles covering the gambit of music. I have a feeling that digging in this Webster Grove site should produce some jazz classics as this city was a bedrock of jazz musicians.
They sell new vinyl which has become more and more prevalent in the industry and has a worldwide mail-order business. So send them your wish list and they just may be able to accommodate you.
Their doors open every day at 10:00 am and close Monday thru Thursday at 8:00 pm, Friday and Saturday at 9:00 and on Sunday at 5:00 pm.

So it’s back across the country as the Jazz Voyager continues his hunt for rare wax by heading to 2014 Greene St, Columbia, SC 29205 wherein resides Papa Jazz Record Shoppe. Regarded as one of the largest stores in the Southeast, owner Tim Smith has cemented its reputation over its 40 years of existence. A particular fondness for free and avant-garde jazz only highlights its extensive jazz stacks but for us audiophiles, we take pleasure in the hunt.
They open/close their doors from 10 am to 7 pm, Monday to Saturday and noon to 5 pm on Sunday. Additional information is always available at 803-256-0095.

Off to the Northwest coast of America to hang out at the Easy Street Records & Cafe to see what I can find in the way of vintage jazz wax or compact discs. Located in the business district called The Junction at 4559 California Ave SW, Seattle, Washington 98116, it was established in 1988 by owner Matt Vaughan, who had the vision to combine two failing and ready to close record stores into one.
This eclectic hangout’s cafe, sitting next door to the store, serves American breakfasts, burgers & salads. So for this Jazz Voyager it looks like it’s going to be a long, fun day of hunting and dining. Hosting in-store performances, Rolling Stone, Time Magazine and The Travel Channel have all given nods to this music and dining destination. Open seven days a week from 9a-9p, closing at 7p on Sunday. For additional info call 206-938-3279.
