Best 100 acid jazz releases

Acid jazz is a music genre that combines elements of jazz, funk, soul, and disco, often with a focus on improvisation and groove-based rhythms. The term "acid jazz" was first coined in the 1980s by DJs and record producers in the UK who were playing jazz-funk music with a more electronic and dance-oriented approach. Acid jazz became popular in the UK in the 1990s and was associated with the "rare groove" scene, which involved the rediscovery of obscure funk and soul records from the 1970s. Acid jazz often features live instrumentation, including saxophone, trumpet, bass, and drums, as well as electronic instruments such as synthesizers and drum machines. The genre has been influential in the development of other genres, including trip-hop and nu jazz.
