The acid jazz scene, as a label and a 'genre' was good to be around at the time, still is
A few bands seemed to merge out of Brit funk and other places, but some great bands emerged, many of which I still play regular today also use when I DJ
I remember buying the first Jamiroquai releases on AJ, with Andrew Levy (?) on bass, before they went to Sony
Saw JTQ many times, with @gaz66 on bass, great live band, and more recently with Andrew Mckinney. Just picked up A Few useful Tips about Living Underground on vinyl for a vinyl only night I do, probably my favorite JTQ album. Need Sound Stylistics vinyl now 🙂
Mother Earth were one of my favorite bands at the time, Neil Corcoran nailed some great lines, saw them with Australian band Skunk Hour in MAnchester
Saw a lot of bands around that time, I also remember BNH supporting simply red somewhere, they were better than SR for me
And then there's Galliano! And they are back at it and i have tickets for Manchester next month, not bought the album yet, waiting for the show, they do have Ernie Mckone on bass, great player
I just remembered Mr Exe, Paul Powell, Million Smiles, some nice playing on that by Mr Powell, rumours of him playing on a Jamir' track as well
