Beat Jazz

Let’s face it, jazz is Subterranean. Gene Krupa was a chronic cannabis user. Sonny Rollins made the Mohawk stylish. Sun Ra was from another planet. And our Miles Davis reinvented music at least three times in his life. (Why exactly doesn’t St. Louis have a museum for this legend or for all the jazz and blues greats from the region? Shame, shame.) Anyway, we just got in three large boxes of used jazz books, and they’re priced to go. On top of that and related, we’ve also unleashed a couple boxes worth of beat literature on the shelves. They’re worth the trip, I promise
