In the mid 00's I was driving to San Fran listening to a station on XM (no longer on), they played great stuff, I heard this and flipped but I didn't catch the name. I emailed the host and he wrote me back with all the info.
Nice. I like the 'bongo' (?) 'Hand percussion' work....whtevr...nice fillers...
Love how it speeds up! LOL. great....changes 1/2 way through...ha ha , wow, hard 'act' to follow....
What does 'Acid Jazz' even mean?
Hm. Jazz that reminds you of Acid? Or Electronica that incorporates jazz influences?
Looked on wikipedia and found Digable Planets, Gang Starr, Stereo MCs, DJ Krush and RJD2.
A little confused, but enjoying the mixture. Here.
Funk, Organ (I suppose a key element?), and some 'Acid'?
As in trippy? As in ...not formulaic?
okay.
I guess... here's one, maybe:
"The band plays improvisational pieces of up to an hour in length
that explore the development and demise of repeating musical figures."

Here is the wiki definition of Acid Jazz
Acid jazz is a musical genre that combines elements of jazz, funk and hip-hop,[1] particularly looped beats. It developed in the UK over the 1980s and 1990s and could be seen as tacking the sound of jazz-funk onto electronicdance: jazz-funk musicians such as Roy Ayers, Donald Byrd and Grant Green are often credited as forerunners of acid jazz.[2] Acid jazz has also experienced minor influences from soul, house, and disco.
While acid jazz often contains various types of electronic composition (sometimes including sampling or live DJ cutting and scratching), it is just as likely to be played live by musicians, who often showcase jazz interpretation as part of their performance. The compositions of groups such as Jamiroquai, Galliano, Urban Species, The Brand New Heavies and Incognito often feature chord structures usually associated with jazz music.
The acid jazz "movement" is also seen as a revival of jazz-funk or jazz fusion or soul jazz by leading DJs such as Norman Jay or Gilles Peterson or Patrick Forge, also known as "rare groove crate diggers" or "Cataroos". Q magazine stated "Acid jazz was the most significant jazz form to emerge out of the British music scene".[3]
Funky is the key I would say.
There was a series of CD's in the 90's called the "Acid Jazz Compilation" and a record label that Incognito was on.
I wonder if 'Vlad' listens to this as he wrestles dead bear, lol.
Not sure how much acid vs jazz /Funk you like. We like...whatever...anyways, enjoy!
?
Music is a blessing!
Love the old school feel of the first one!
