What is Acid-Jazz?
The music played by a generation raised on jazz as well as funk and
hip-hop, Acid Jazz used elements of all three. Its existence as a percussion-heavy,
primarily live music placed it closer to jazz and Afro-Cuban than any
other dance style, but its insistence on keeping the groove allied it
with funk, hip-hop, and dance music.
The term itself first appeared in 1988 as both an American record label
and the title of an English compilation series that reissued jazz-funk
music from the '70s, called "rare groove" by the Brits during a major
mid-'80s resurgence.
 A
variety of acid jazz artists emerged during the late '80s and early '90s:
live bands such as Stereo MC's, James Taylor Quartet, the Brand New Heavies,
Groove Collective, Galliano, and Jamiroquai, as well as studio projects
