Mo Wax weren't really pushing Acid Jazz - they arrived as Acid Jazz was
dying on its arse - they were primarily instrumental hip-hop - ("trip-hop" -
though I hate the term)
There IS a link to Acid House cos both terms referred to a scene where lots
of young people were coming together and un-selfconsciously getting down in
dirty clubs and warehouses. House was eventually referred to as Acid House,
so the Jazzheads parried by referring to their scene as Acid Jazz.-----Original Message----- From: Mehmet Koryurek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 12:51 PM To: 313@hyperreal.org Subject: Re: (313) Acid Jazz (Best Acid Lines In The World...Ever!!) as a matter of fact, acid jazz has no link to acid house. back in 87-89 acid house was popular and the nu jazz sound was more towards the soul II soul and talkin loud sound of beefed up r&b/soul style. i think, in order to make ppl understand and categorize music what they have done was to coin the term acid jazz to make ppl think that its diff. than your regular jazz trax and has more of a club feel. Brand New Heavies, Galliano, Incognito, Banderas, Urban Poets, His Emperors New Clothes, Ronny Jordan and the like had a similar sound. And there were three main labels pushing this sound, and one was named Acid Jazz, the othe two being Talkin Loud and MoWax. Funny enough its very rare that a typical acid machine like 303 was used in any track defined as Acid Jazz. my 2 cents:) Mehmet ----- Original Message ----- From: "spw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <313@hyperreal.org> Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 2:46 PM Subject: Re: (313) Acid Jazz (Best Acid Lines In The World...Ever!!) > lets not get acid house confused with the genre acid jazz. > I rember first hearing about acid jazz back in 1989, The Crazy Frenchmen - > Jazz It Up comes to mind as an early 90's acid jazz track. > > Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically stated.
