The Jazz Voyager

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.
