Cultural Facts:
- Personal Struggle: The MJQ fought to move jazz into concert halls at a time when Black musicians still had to battle nightclub stereotypes and segregated expectations.
- Band Drama: John Lewis’ formal control and Milt Jackson’s blues-heavy swing created the group’s central tension: elegance versus heat.
- Scene Ecology: Pyramid shows how the group connected bebop roots, chamber music discipline, and modern jazz respectability without losing the rhythm section’s original pulse.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
