ACID JAZZ
What is Acid Jazz?
It is a funky music style which incorporates elements of jazz,
70s funk, hip-hop, soul, as well as other things.
It can be all live, it can be sampled, it can be a mixture of both.
Generally, the focus of Acid Jazz is the music, as opposed to the lyrics/ words
(versus rap mixed with jazz samples, which focuses on the words, and
maybe a little on heavy beats). It is a groovy music that sometimes
wants to make you move, sometimes wants to tell you what's going down,
and sometimes just sits in the background as you bob your head,
not quite knowing why you are feeling so funky.
