The Atlanta store has had such a section for about three years, formerly way back in the corner behing "local music" but now up front in the corner behind some gift items. The promotional aspect seemed promising, especially pulling together albums that would otherwise be scattered through the store, but the drawback was that Cecil Taylor and Peter Brotzmann among others were removed from the jazz section though Cage and Feldman remained in classical. One problem is that Tower doesn't (or at least hasn't, maybe it's changed in the past year or two) completely use centralized buying so that each store is mostly responsible for its own inventory. One result is that the Atlanta store's jazz stock has been spotty for the past few years and the formerly extensive magazine selection is now pretty thin. And the cut-outs completely vanished. It's nice to see Incus or Avant releases in a store but at $5-6 above Cadence/Wayside prices there's not much incentive to buy there.

Surprisingly, one of the few chain stores around here to have an Avant
Garde section, last I looked, was the Barnes and Noble in Rockville,
MD. OTOH, the cashier was quite surprised when i bought several things
from that section, since he'd never seen any one else do so,
