Available from Amazon for £buggerall and a great way to hear new sounds.[/quote]similar to Bilbo's post.. some are, but alot of the artists on that album arent Acid Jazz, associated with the time yes.. imo jazz funk and acid jazz are very different.. for me this a great jazz funk various album.. The Mastercut series.. or the story of Acid Jazz is a great album to start off... Edited August 13, 2011 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great grooves, consistently high standard and thoughtfully sequenced too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Always wondered where stuff like Zero 7 (who I love) fit into this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 [quote name='risingson' post='1338962' date='Aug 13 2011, 06:12 PM']Wow, a lot of these guys couldn't be further away from what is collectively known as acid-jazz, I don't know where you got the list from but it ain't really right![/quote] That's the trouble with labels. Different strokes for different folks. You create the label, the next guy steps over the line. Many genres expand until they encompass sub-genres and sub-sub-genres. I grew up with Rock which morphed into Heavy Metal before it sub-morphed into death metal, speed metal, prog metal etc. Its all academic to 99% of the population, including the bands.

'Ambient', 'downtempo' are just buzzwords that ensure Starbucks knows what kind of music they're playing, I think the same think about Acid-Jazz as well.

benebass Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Always had a soft spot for the Young Disciples - their 'Road To Freedom' album is a classic... B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
