This will be my 33rd yr and it is nice to see Amoeba step in and fill a void since Tower closed shop and way back when a local shop from Capitola used to have a booth. Looking forward to shopping at your booth. I hope you will have used offerings available.
Congratulations Amoeba! The fans at Monterey Jazz are music buyers and your store is the perfect fit for the Festival. Last year's recorded offerings were so completely dismal with B*&% B#^ pretending to be a record store. We welcome the return of a recorded music retailer with genuine love for music, respect for history and an awesome selection. Thanks for sponsoring the festival.
